...California, Don Muchmore's State Poll showed that voters there "want an end to the war in Viet Nam and no longer have confidence in the Johnson Administration's policies." Of those questioned, 59% opposed his Viet Nam policies outright and 58% called on the U.S. to enter into negotiations unconditionally. The national board of the 55,000-member Americans for Democratic Action promised its support next year to "whoever gives the best prospect for a settlement of the Viet Nam conflict"-and it was obvious that Johnson was not likely to be the choice...
...dean's reply, delivered late in May, was almost totally negative. Ford and Elder rejected the pay increase outright. They offered two new proposals on the junior-senior rate differential, both of which meant that the teaching fellows might lose as much as they would gain.

...Krupa says. "I'd like to see a Democratic mayor, but he has to be a red, white and blue one." Krupa's real motives-aside from Hatcher's color-seem more basic. Not only has Hatcher pledged to end corruption, he has also rejected outright the machine's usual demands for patronage-which, he says, include selection of the city controller and the police and fire chiefs. Says Hatcher: "I've come too far to make deals...
