...main thrust of Barry's speech, however, was to link Lyndon Johnson's Administration with the issues of law, order and morality. Alluding to Negro rioting, he drew wild applause by declaring: "I would not as President support or incite any American to seek redress of his grievances through lawlessness, violence, and hurt to his fellow men." There is, said Goldwater, "a feeling in America today which may be as meaningful in the long run as any other factor" in this election year. This mood was a reaction to "the doctrine of the fast buck and the code...
...time state police, sheriff's officers and cops from neighboring communities arrived, the mob had swelled to 1,000 and the riot was in full swing. Negroes swarmed into a main street, smashing windows and headlights of passing cars. A white man, Clarence Stermer, 59, suffered a heart attack when his car was bombarded with rocks. For four hours lawmen used tear gas and high-pressure fire hoses to sweep back the mob.

Since it has laxative properties, some manufacturers combine it with aluminum hydroxide, which is also antacid but, taken alone, is slightly constipating. Several proprietary preparations contain magnesium trisilicate, which neutralizes acid by both chemical and physical reactions and forms a gelatinous lining in the stomach and duodenum...
...Republican Burns, who had presumed that the session would be unpublicized, Johnson proposed that the press be briefed immediately. As if on signal, reporters and cameramen rushed in. Burns refused Heller's request to join him in the briefing, and Heller went on to say that the main note of the meeting had been "a general feeling of broad consensus." Since this seemed to imply a general consensus in support of the Administration's economic policies, Burns and Saulnier felt that they had been used for electioneering purposes.
