Nixon was in New York, watching and waiting. In last week's Nebraska primary, where Goldwater's name was the only one on the ballot, Nixon polled a tidy 31.4% write-in vote.

...couple of Republican Congressmen, Nebraska's David Martin and Kentucky's Gene Snyder, journeyed South and returned with a tale of dire poverty in Lyndon's own backyard-or, more precisely, Lady Bird's. In Alabama's Autauga County, Lady Bird owns about 3,000 acres of land that she inherited from her family.

Nebraska Republican Roman Hruska was in Omaha at state Republican Founders Day ceremonies. "When the siren song of politics calls," said one Senate aide, "they can't resist...
Conner is a Kansan educated at the University of Nebraska. As a sculptor, he is represented at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art. And as a filmmaker, he is no Puritan. His Cosmic Ray, four minutes long, is a collection of quick glimpses of photographically virgin (unairbrushed) nudes interspersed with scenes of naval engagements, Mickey Mouse, rocket planes, and the flag-raising at Iwo Jima. One girl rides a broomstick, a witch without a stitch. Some seem to be twisting with the camera. One lies supine, her hands slipping off her panties...
