Catch the Train. Much as Oregon enjoys cutting front runners down to size, it apparently has no use at all for those who essay politicking from afar. Nixon conducted a skillful, low-pressure campaign that allowed him to say at the end: "The voters of Oregon have spoken, and I like the sound of their voices." Also listening closely were the uncommitted party leaders, such as Washington Governor Dan Evans, who chatted with Nixon last week and then said of other G.O.P. chiefs: "When the train leaves the station, everyone wants to be aboard...
...marshals in Washington on the big day. On Capitol Hill, Abernathy and 20 sympathetic Congressmen agreed to set up six subcommittees that will seek legislation to aid the poverty-stricken.

This is the Red Belt of Paris, so called because most of its towns have Communist mayors. It is here that the Parisian worker lives and plies his trade...
...even amidst the depression felt by many of his suporters throughout the country. His television confrontation with McCarthy, which Kennedy had shunned for weeks earlier, did not appear to lose him any votes. In fact, his supporters and neutral analysts were surprised at the effectiveness of his generally quick, low-key delivery, particularly next to the urbane, professorial manner of McCarthy...
