...trouble with Mills is that he simply does not like to lose. In ten years as Ways and Means chairman, he has been beaten only twice on important measures he has brought to the House floor. The initial defeat occurred in 1958, on the very first major measure he agreed to report out of committee. The second came last year, after the Administration blandly assured him that there were enough votes in favor of a bill to raise the debt ceiling. The count was wrong. Both setbacks apparently seared Mills's soul. In between, he built himself a name...
...only two months. Among G.O.P. Senators and Representatives, Rocky is rated the strongest Republican possibility, leading Nixon by a count of 53.1% to 37.7% in a Congressional Quarterly Survey. In California, Don Muchmore's State Poll shows him beating Johnson by 54% to 37%, while Nixon would lose to the President...
...first phase of his campaign was pure Giap: trying to draw U.S. forces to the periphery of South Viet Nam, into isolated areas where they had little to gain and lives to lose. He did much the same thing to the French in 1952 and 1953. Last week's series of urban attacks was a radical departure, but it has some logic and some advantages.

...Cabaña fortress, Escalante and 36 of his fellow conspirators were found guilty of treason and sentenced to prison terms ranging from one to 15 years (Escalante got the maximum). Though Fidel himself kept silent, he did not seem ready to split with Russia and lose his $1,000,000-a-day dole. Cuban Minister Without Portfolio Carlos Rafael Rodriguez, speaking for Castro, called for ideological peace talks with Moscow; after all, he noted, it was only realistic "that we should bring forward our criticisms of what we consider errors of its policy...
During the past year, of course, it took bad judgment, bad timing and bad luck to lose money in the market. The Dow-Jones industrial average of 30 basic blue chips rose 15% in 1967, but the Dow is much too narrow a gauge. Outmoded and inadequate, it does not come close to measuring the total market or its most dynamic companies, even though it has an exaggerated influence over the market's mood. It closed last week at 864-just about where it was three years ago. The better, broader Standard & Poor index...
