Nine-Time Loser. Both Humphrey and Senator Henry Jackson of Washington easily turned aside primary challenges by little-known Negro peace candidates last week, adding to the evidence that the war has been at least temporarily defused as a pervasive issue. Of 35 Democrats seeking Senate seats this year, at least a dozen, including Humphrey, Jackson, Muskie, Kennedy, Majority Leader Mike Mansfield and Rhode Island's John Pastore, are conceded to be certain winners.

...consecutive winning seasons is no small feat, especially when compared to the mediocrity of the past. As Harvard people think excitedly of the next coach, they should remember that even Dartmouth's Bob Blackman produced a loser two years ago-before Yovicsin...

East Germany emerged as both a winner and a loser. The Soviets did not force Bonn to recognize East Germany as a precondition to the Treaty of Moscow, but Brandt did agree to accept the inviolability of present East German frontiers. Communist Party Boss Walter Ulbricht seized on the territorial guarantee to write letters to the heads of state of ten Western nations, demanding that they reconsider their longtime refusal to grant recognition to his regime. Sooner rather than later, he is bound to get it. However, since the Soviets have now accepted Brandt as a diplomatic partner, Ulbricht will...
