...effective presidency, because as he succeeds, we all succeed." Gracious words from the loser are almost obligatory, but others under less compulsion to be generous to the winner after a close campaign also indicated a readiness to withhold judgment. Georgia's Governor Lester Maddox, a loyal Wallace man, sent congratulations to "my President." So did George Meany, while Walter Reuther, Mrs. Martin Luther King Jr. and Whitney Young Jr. expressed good wishes. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, a special target for Nixon during the campaign, said there should now be "no recriminations...
Jordanians have long expected Hussein to crack down on the fedayeen, who stand in the way of any hope of a settlement with Israel.

...Humphrey confessed to close aides: "I'm dead." He was down so far he had no place to go but up. And up he went-up from a 16-point deficit in the polls, up from the chaos of the Democratic Convention. When he bade good night to loyal Democratic Party workers in the ballroom of the Leamington Hotel in Minneapolis at 2:30 a.m. on Nov. 6, the Vice President was racing neck and neck against Richard Nixon.
