...What few main-line Republicans suspected when they went along with Goldwater was that the 1964 disaster would end by encouraging the conservative rump instead of shaming it back into the fold. The Democrats, by contrast, have weathered countless crises of North South schizophrenia and myriad lesser spats and have repeatedly proved themselves capable of closing ranks before the voters go to the polls...
...setting was like a primitive painting. The main building in Hye is a combination post office-general store, and sports a false tin front pressed into gingerbread doodads and painted bright red, white and green. It was here in 1912, when he was four, recalled Lyndon, that he mailed his first letter-to his grandmother.

He once confided to a newsman: "Look, I have a couple of big freshmen linemen preparing for a special job. At the end of the game, win or lose, they are going to hoist me to their shoulders...

Dancing is a contact sport." In their collision with Ohio State last month, the Spartans held the Buckeyes to minus-22 yds. rushing-the first time they have ever failed to gain on the ground. Michigan, the defending Big Ten champion, got even less: minus-51 yds. Last week the Spartans allowed Iowa a grand total of 86 yds., 85 of them in the air, never...
