Last year the Redmen crowded all the men they could muster around their goal in an attempt to stop the Crimson forwards. The strategy failed in 1963 when Chris Ohiri boomed two kicks through the defensive wall, but without the Nigerian's accurate toe, this year's Harvard squad may be in trouble...
...they angrily refused to approve two of Lyndon Johnson's priority programs: a $1 billion project of federal aid to rejuvenate the economy of the Appalachian region and Social Security-financed medical care for the aged. Both plans had passed the Senate. Appalachia died because Democrats could not muster enough votes to get an authorization bill through the House. Medicare died in a Senate-House conference committee, mainly because of the opposition of House Ways and Means Chairman Wilbur Mills...
Cabinet of Surprises. During the next four years, Panama's 33rd President in 60 years will need all the fortitude he can muster. The country's treasury is $20 million in the red, unemployment is approaching 20% , and Panama's relations with the U.S. - though certainly improved from last January - are still delicate.

All the written Constitution gives him is a scant 7,000 words of Delphic injunctions and 18th century specifics.

Jackson, "must be divined from materials almost as enigmatic as the dreams Joseph was called upon to interpret for Pharaoh...
Saints & Sinners. Out where those votes are, local Goldwater organizations generally have far more volunteers to get the job done than the G.O.P. could muster in 1960. Nowhere are these torrid troops used more effectively than in the South, where Republican organizations are now far more efficient than the long-complacent Democratic groups there. In New Orleans, Texan LeRoy Ellis, 29, plots Goldwater strategy for Louisiana in a "war room" covered with 13 maps pegging population growth and political patterns in every parish. His precinct workers have assembled 600,000 IBM cards containing the name and address of every Louisiana...
