...headlines by campaigning in perhaps a score of states (Humphrey plans to stump 38, Johnson all 50) for such fellow Democrats as Michigan's G. Mennen Williams and Illinois' Senator Paul Douglas. A major target may be California, where Governor Pat Brown is in a neck-and-neck race. "I hope he comes," said Brown's opponent, G.O.P. Candidate Ronald Reagan, last week. "It would be interesting to have this citizen of Massachusetts, who serves as the Senator from New York, explain why he's qualified to tell us how to run California...

The doctors immediately saw that it was a wound of entrance, but they became puzzled when they could find neither a bullet, an extended bullet path, nor an exit wound in the throat. Later they testified that they had cleared up the mystery, after surgical examination of the body was completed, by calling the Dallas doctors who had attended the President. They then learned that the incision for an emergency-room tracheotomy had been made over a bullet...
