...Tennessee, Dirksen's son-in-law, most of Scott's strength came from a coalition of moderates and liberals; but, he says, his reputation as an aggressive activist "got me the two crucial votes I needed." Dirksen had antagonized some Republicans by his celebrated coziness with Lyndon Johnson and by the highly personalized manner of his leadership. Scott deliberately follows the reverse course. He is committed to making no under-the-table deals with the opposition, and -partly out of personal conviction, partly because of pressure from his party colleagues-the pipe-smoking Pennsylvanian has moved to spread...
...quietly, in the form of a sedate and pragmatic U.S. approach to relations with its neighbors. Businesslike and low-keyed, his proposals were a far cry-and, some felt, a refreshingly realistic departure-from the soaring vision of John Kennedy's Alliance or the "Decade of Urgency" that Lyndon Johnson proclaimed at the conference of hemisphere Presidents in Punta del Este, Uruguay, more than two years...

COLUMBIA-CORNELL: Pick one: Barry Goldwater or Lyndon Johnson, the Boston Patriots or the 1967 New York Giants, air pollution or water pollution, Studebakers or Hudsons. Columbia or Cornell. This is perhaps a distortion, but anybody can tell you that that's a newspaper's most important function. One consideration is Ed Marinaro's return to the Cornell lineup. Since Columbia is allowing about 240 yards per game on the ground. I would guess that the Big Red would take advantage of this weakness. And the game is in Ithaca-a definite factor. Then again. Columbia is starting to look...
