Arthur Godfrey Road cuts a path into Miami Beach past the Moulin Rouge's neon invitation to "Have Your Next Affair Here," past the ubiquitous Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge, past the Eden Roc Hotel with its plaster version of the Winged Victory of Samothrace crated for protection against radicals and art vandals. After the turn up Collins Avenue, the road ends at the Doral, McGovern Headquarters and purveyors of bathrooms so mirrored as to enable Frank Mankiewicz to view the performance of all his major biological functions simultaneously from four different angles...
...Democratic Party followed this path last week, and Miami provided the setting for a collection of political bedfellows unparalleled in its diversity. Richard Daley fumed in Chicago while Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffmann galloped over the convention floor as fully accredited representatives of Mad and Popular Mechanics.

Ted even created a Little League team in Binger just for Johnny and his brothers. When that did not work out, he drove them 17 miles to Anardarko to play. Meanwhile Johnny glued himself to major-league games on TV, assiduously copying down ballplayers' bland interviews...
There is no absolute guarantee, however, that Abrams will follow exactly in the path of Westmoreland. In Viet Nam, for example, Abrams moved the Army away from his predecessor's massive search-and-destroy methods to vigorous, small-unit tactics aimed at keeping the enemy off balance. Along with this went heavily increased emphasis on Vietnamization...
