...concluded last week that Reagan's strength has doubled to 15% in the past two months. A move by Reagan into New Hampshire would cut deeply into Nixon's conservative following, but if write-in campaigns for Illinois Senator Charles Percy and New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller were to materialize, Romney's power among moderates might be similarly eroded. Meanwhile, it seems safe to predict that lakeside holidays with old friends, football weekends, foliage tours and church suppers in New Hampshire will be attractive to several out-of-state Republicans...
...Republican Party's glamorous Governors R-Romney, Reagan and Nelson Rockefeller-bulk big in all talk about 1968. Along with their various assets, however, each of the three has a serious handicap or two: Romney ("hasn't fire," Mormon); Reagan ("too conservative," "too inexperienced"); Rockefeller (party regulars don't like him, divorce).

Whether generic and brand-name drugs are really medically equivalent has been debated before Nelson's Senate Monopoly Subcommittee for almost two months now. So far, no witness...
...life: to find a sailor from Gibraltar, who she feels was the love of her life. As she remembers him, he was no ordinary navvy: at 20, when they had their stormy affair, he was fleeing French law for "the murder of the American ballbearings king, Nelson Nelson." Though she has had no word of him in years, her yacht, with its crew of seven, seeks him in ports on the seven seas without a scintilla of rational evidence...
