The end of the primaries signaled the start of a whole new battle in the struggle for the Democratic nomination, a struggle of political maneuver that would go on right down to the final ballot in Chicago.

The Soviet policy of smiles was picking up mileage and momentum by the minute, relaxing freedom's watchfulness, exacerbating the free world's differences, as the urgency of fear was removed. In suburban Hyattsville, Md., First Secretary Alexander Zinchuk of the Soviet embassy made a jovial pitch for a U.S.-Russian bridge across the Bering Strait so man could ride by road...
