Consequently, Cavanagh faces easy reelection in November. Last month he received 63.4 per cent of the vote in a 12-man primary. His main opponent, a salesman named Walter Shamie, wants to unleash the police and, despite denials, is obviously bidding for the casual bigot vote. He will probably not get too much of it. Cavanagh, like President Johnson against Barry Goldwater, has too much else going...

The basic U.S. strategy in Viet Nam today, now that its defensive enclaves are secured, is to go over to the offensive, hitting out from the bases in fairly large-scale thrusts at main V.C. striking forces-to break them up, keep them off balance, erode their influence.

So strong is the future that Chicagoans have adopted a somewhat condescending attitude toward Pittsburgh. "In steel," says Inland's Vice President William Caples, "this is where the action...

The main reasons for the decline in demand are 1) the overbuilding that took place earlier in the 1960s, and 2) the decrease in the biggest buying segment of the population, people aged 30 to 40, most of whom were born during the low birthrate years of the Depression. Main reason for the higher prices: the continuing jump in the price of land, the economy's most inflated commodity...
