Humphrey's Charge. Nixon's first specific crime-control proposals also have political implications. Law and order became an issue last year primarily because of ubiquitous street violence, whether perpetrated by the lone mugger or the faceless mob.

New legal tools are sought to get at both gangsters and their political accomplices. While almost any antiriot measure can be construed as anti-Negro, everyone is happy to belabor the Mafia...
White House reporters were given no advance clues. Instead, they were told to bring clothes for cold and warm climates-and perhaps a pair of swimming trunks-but were warned not to tell anyone else.

Without warning, a mugger lashed out at her head with a blunt weapon and snatched her purse. When Dr. Marshall died of her injuries, the Indianapolis News was deluged with letters from infuriated women. Assistant Publisher Eugene S. Pulliam asked one of the paper's staffers, Margaret Moore, 56, to help 30 prominent civic-minded women to decide on a course of action...
