ROBERT M. NELSON...
Each of the three Democrats is convinced that he can defeat New York's Republican Governor Nelson Rockefeller ("the rich man's millionaire," in Samuels' phrase) in his bid for a third term in November. One of their problems is that New York has no primary for statewide office.

The British general strike of 1926 got front-page treatment; not the outbreak of World War II. Winston Churchill never made the first page while he was alive; only his death put him there. Aside from those few departures from tradition, Page One has been devoted to notices and classified advertisements: secretaries looking for work, wives imploring their husbands to return, Tibetan refugees seeking...
