Illinois' G.O.P. Gubernatorial Candidate Charles Percy, a lukewarm Barry backer, found a Barry groundswell too. Said he: "I feel it among independent, small home owners, in ethnic groups of all kinds, and among rural people. They say Goldwater is a man of courage, of integrity, of character-those are the words they're using at the popular level. They say he says what he means and talks straight.

...tapping their feet with a blistering Tailgate Ramble. Trumpeter Billy Butterfield chimed in with a sweet and solid delivery of Singing the Blues. Crosby led ten enlistees through a lively, give-and-go session of Royal Garden Blues. But betwixt and between, le jazz hot tended to run lukewarm, and when it was over at 3:20 a.m., the Great Moment had never quite happened.

Lukewarm Moslems, the Tuaregs twist the usual Islamic custom by insisting that their men go veiled while the women's faces remain bare.
