...Some Northern Writer. The results, to be sure, were not so conclusive as they had been in the recent mayoral elections in Los Angeles and Minneapolis. Lindsay lost by only 1.5%, and even in defeat has a good chance of re-election in November on the tickets of New York's Liberal Party and his newly formed coalition, tentatively called the Urban Party. Many voters, too, unquestionably felt that they had ample reason, apart from race or ideology, to oppose the mayor on his record, which has had more than its share of disasters.

...Richard Nixon can testify, and the fact is that today the Marchis and the Procaccinos are in almost every instance beating the Lindsays and the Wagners. "I didn't make this up, now," George Wallace told TIME Correspondent Kenneth Danforth, shortly after the New York election. "Some Northern writer did.

The detective meanwhile produced no specific programs, even in the law-and-order field. He answered personal criticism with the reassurance: "I'm not goofy...
...Spanish settlement of Taos, tucked away in the Sangre de Cristo mountains of northern New Mexico, is loosely linked to the rest of the world only by narrow, crumbling ribbons of highways. It seemed a God-sent El Dorado for the nation's newest wave of migrants. Over the past two years, driven from the cities by hoodlums and a yearning for the pastoral life, some 1,000 hippies have settled around Taos-buying small plots of land, hand-fashioning adobe casas, and settling down to light farming. Along with their home-grown marijuana and vegetables, however, they have...
