With that declaration, Carmichael -- armed with little more than a rhetoric of outrage -- began to pursue the almost mystical notion that there is a frontier of American politics solely for Negroes, and that it is SNCC's to find. Mississippi Summer Project veterans Bob Moses and John Lewis were dismissed as revisionists. The new Howard educated policy-making core -- Carmichael, Courtland Cox, Charles Cobb, Cleveland Sellers -- focused on the words "self-determinism," "nationalism," and "black power." The newly evolving SNCC image was one of hard cool. The old tactic and credo of Ghandian pacifism was termed irrelevant...
...Black Belt colleges, Carmichael has found a perplexing and almost insurmountable problem in recruiting 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week revolutionaries from the Negro middle-class. Behind Carmichael, the leadership cult is pre-occupied with presenting an image of bitter coolness. SNCC has rejected intellectualism -- the notion that Negroes must obtain certain credentials and legitimacy from education to be meaningful to the Negro community -- as bourgeois and escapist...
...Oregonian's notion, outlined in a letter to 20 other Republican Governors, was that they should all meticulously refrain from supporting any of the potential contenders until, after "continual pulse feeling," they could all move "in concert toward selection of the Republican who has the best chance of victory next year."

Ugly notion, says John O'Toole of Foote, Cone & fielding: "The younger generation we have today does not respond to the unreal, the phony. This generation has grown up with advertising, seen it all their lives and has developed an ennui with all the beautiful faces thrown at them." Adds Adman...
Careful research, meaning a talk with his wife, has disproved the notion that Randy Matson, 22, has a red S for Superman inscribed on his chest. That still may not convince anybody who watched the 6-ft. 6-in., 263-lb. Texas A. & M. senior compete against Baylor and Texas Christian in a triangular track meet. Matson is the only man in the history of track and field to put the shot 70 ft. or more-once in May 1965, and again last February. Against Baylor and T.C.U., he did it three times in a day. In a remarkable display...
