In a drab pennant race that saw a perennial loser (the Washington Senators, now Minnesota Twins) come in second, and a baby in the league (the Los Angeles Angels) take third, they could not even win 100 ball games, while both the Giants and the Dodgers reached the century mark against tougher competition...

Did the primary results add up to a defeat for the conservatives? a newsman asked. No, said Nixon. "I consider myself a conservative -a progressive conservative." Republicans v. Nixon. Loser Shell predicted that Brown would beat Nixon in November. As to whether he would support Nixon, Shell said Nixon would first have to show dedication to conservative principles, including a "very public commitment" to cut $200 million (about 7%) out of the state budget. But no matter what promises Nixon might...
