...followers would agree. Some have even gritted their teeth and gone to the aid of their party. But many of them are bitter, angry and frustrated; a number of youthful campaigners now actively op pose Humphrey by working in Nixon's youth division. A few disgruntled Mid west supporters even vow that they will protest by voting for George Wallace. Ann Hart, Michigan Senator Phil Hart's daughter, who tirelessly helped from New Hampshire on, says she cannot "in conscience" vote for Humphrey. Sue Moores, a 27-year-old Seattle housewife, puts her objection more bluntly...
...think I have kept to the basic belief of my youth in the rightness--do I really wish to put it as righteousness?--of human reason. You may write me down as born in the eighteenth century and yet not too umcomfortable--not at any rate schizophrenic--in the mid-twentieth...
Back trouble and a proclivity for serving up home-run balls kept Denny a so-so pitcher for the next two years. Then, in mid-June of 1965, he was called in from the bullpen to relieve against the Boston Red Sox. McLain suddenly found what he calls "my rhythm, my groove." He struck out seven straight hitters to tie an American League record. He went on to win eight games in a row, and wound up the year with a mark...

It was bought by the St. Louis City Art Museum in 1943 as a Salviati (1510-63), then identified in 1951 as by Michele Tosini. But any number of other mid-16th century Italian painters have been mentioned as the artist, including Pontormo, Mirabello Cavalori, Jacopo del Conte and Vasari. At the moment, the museum displays it as attributed to Tosini, but no one is sure. Everyone agrees, however, that knowing who is portrayed in the picture would help. The painting's mood is mournful. It could...
