...candidates themselves seemed resigned to whatever came their way Nov. 5. Nixon was determined not only to win, but to win big so that he could govern with a clear mandate. There was probably not even a notion of what he would do should he lose; law would certainly seem dull. Just as bent on victory -and apparently convinced it is in his grasp-Humphrey would no doubt be better prepared psychologically for defeat at this juncture and would work for the next four years to unite the party...
...city school today seems incapable of helping the ghetto children. Each year they fall farther behind. In one Manhattan school, 47% of the second grade are below the national reading norm; in the third grade, 52% of the children were behind, while 72% of the fourth grade lagged. The notion is often advanced that black parents do not care. The experience of Ocean Hill-Brownsville, as well as simple observation, says differently. Few can forget a demonstration last year in an East Harlem school where an elderly black woman, tears streaming down her face, cradled the head of her nine...

There is also a weakening of the persistent European notion that U.S. antitrust and securities laws are somehow stacked against foreign operations (they are not).

Describing his own experience last June, Marcel Bich, whose Bic pen company bought out Waterman Pen Co. in 1959, could hardly contain himself. "The States, it is tough," he declared. "But when it works, it pays!" Bich has long since recouped...
...course, is likely to level violent criticism against the notion of theatre without cost. Some may wonder, though, why and whether Harvard undergraduates should be considered prime candidates for such charity. And By George in a single evening stated the case rather eloquently, drawing more students than has many a Loeb show in the typical eight-performance run. A price of sorts had to be paid for this achievement, but somehow or other last night's spectators got along despite the notable absence of a large share of the Loeb's usual clientele--the proverbial ladies from Malden...
