...often outright hostility-of many fellow liberals. Walter Lippmann endorsed Richard Nixon, arguing that the Republican is a "maturer and mellower man" than he used to be and that the Democrats need a period of "rest and recuperation." Murray Kempton wrote that the Democrats "deserve to lose." Novelist Norman Mailer concluded that Nixon might not be all that bad (see THE PRESS). Michigan's New Democratic Coalition refused to endorse the party ticket. California's Young Democrats voted not "to even begin to consider" supporting Humphrey unless he agrees to meet six demands, including a pledge of immediate...

Incompatibility of roommates, he claims, is more serious than many college officials realize. More than 8% of Riverside's 1,200 dorm residents switched roommates last year and "at least twice that many wanted to move but were persuaded to stick it out."
