In one of the least felicitous pronouncements of the year, Nolan Frizzelle, president of the 20,000-member far-right California Republican Assembly, recently explained his outfit's stand in favor of Proposition 14: "The essence of freedom is the right to discriminate. Discrimination means free choice. In socialist countries, they always take away this right in order to complete their takeover." Goldwater himself would recognize this as an impetuous political statement, and indeed the word has gone...
Comedians are not the only show-business volunteers on the satirical side of the campaign. The word is that Dean Martin has calmed the fears of Sammy Davis Jr. by telling him: "Don't worry, Sammy. If Goldwater wins, I'll buy you." And an outfit called Panic Productions has released an LP album called I'd Rather Be Far Right Than President, which imaginatively follows Goldwater to victory and into office, chronicling his first presidential moves, such as withdrawing recognition from Britain, India, Sweden, and Switzerland, kicking the man from the New York Times...

A New York poll gives him 69% of the votes, a California sampling 64%, and the John P. Harris poll, run by a Kansas outfit, has him leading Barry 52 to 28 in that state. There are soft spots throughout the South and the Rocky Mountains, but beyond that, the polls leave little more than Nebraska, South Dakota and Ohio in doubt. And while most show Lyndon losing one out of every ten Democratic voters because...
Indirect Interest? Aside from the Johnsons' broadcasting empire, there is the matter of the Brazos-Tenth Street Co. Originated in 1955 as a real estate developer's device for holding an old building at Brazos and Tenth Streets in Austin, it is now a freewheeling, highly diversified outfit...
