...choice of LeMay, 61, who had been mentioned as a possibility for weeks, was not all that surprising. The only surprise, in fact, was the look on Wallace's face. Beaming with pleasure and pride, the Alabamian introduced his candidate to a Pittsburgh press conference, then stepped aside to let the general speak. Wallace's expression quickly turned to obvious dismay. Within the space of a minute, LeMay had made even Wallace appear, by contrast, the image of the statesmanlike candidate...
...knew that Barry Goldwater lost countless votes in 1964 because he was considered a bomb rattler. Though he is all bluster and bombast on domestic issues and a 100% hawk on Viet Nam, he has barred nuclear weapons in Viet Nam.

...meetings were reportedly working sessions aimed at reaching practical agreements. From the tone of the communique issued when they ended, it would seem that it was the Russians who got most of the work done. Dubček not only pledged once again to place Czechoslovakia's press in "the service of socialism," but also gave preliminary approval to the "temporary stationing" of Warsaw Pact troops throughout his country-a concession that would legalize an indefinite occupation. Though Czechoslovak leaders have privately pledged that "no one will be arrested here for his political beliefs," the agreement also calls...
