Humphrey can only keep his fingers crossed that Muskie does well in both places, for he needs all the help he can get. His strategists do not expect his campaign to hit its stride until early October. They hope that he will hit a well-timed peak just before Nov. 5, and that Nixon will start to sag by then. All the same, there is some question whether this would leave him enough time to shake off the L.B.J. collar and do some persuasive barking...
Crane was patently a born rebel who delighted in scandalizing his age. But the clearest-and most surprising-picture that emerges from Stallman's meticulous fact-finding is that Crane was not the starving garret poet of popular legend. At his peak, he was well-paid.

Most other market indicators show remarkably similar declines...
Crossley's poll was taken between July 21 and 26, and Harris' between July 26 and 29. Some analysts point out that as Harris was doing his sampling, Rockefeller's saturation advertising and personal campaign activity was reaching a peak, while Nixon was vacationing briefly and Humphrey was recovering from...
