Most of the important stirring, however, was being done on Nixon's behalf. New Jersey was restless under its commitment to the favorite-son candidacy of Senator Clifford Case, and the Nixon forces decided to move in on it. On a golf course over the weekend, Nixon Aide Peter Flanigan told State G.O.P. Chairman Webster Todd: "Look, we need your delegation right now." Todd, whose wife was openly supporting Rockefeller, shot back: "Hell, no!" But pressure continued on individual delegates, who saw no purpose in holding out for a lost cause.

Conservative Tack. The speech may suggest that Humphrey will now move to woo the right. The theory is that, barring a massive fourth-party revolt, the party's left will probably vote for Humphrey anyhow when faced with the alternative of Nixon and Agnew in November. Therefore, Humphrey might be persuaded to take a more conservative tack on law and order and the war in order to cut into Republican strength on the right...

The gift was celebrated at campus rallies...

A big solid unsmiling figure on stage dressed in black with a white ruffled vest ("I don't move around so I can wear fancy clothes") he is jovial and enourmously pleasant in the dressing room. "There's no other bass guitarist that's better than me because I don't play it like a bass guitar." And it's true, he doesn't. He plays it aggressively like...
