...contemplate what would happen if Wallace won enough states on his own to deny either of the other candidates a clear majority of 270 votes in the Electoral College. Though this is still highly unlikely, Wallace nonetheless constitutes a very real threat to the stability of the electoral process and indeed the future of the two-party system. If he does prevent both Nixon and Humphrey from gaining a majority, he might bestow his electoral votes on his preferred candidate and claim that he picked the President...
...unlikely as it seemed, Kosygin may actually have sought to reassure the scrupulously neutral Finns. But in the long run, the only way that Russia can allay the worries of the Finns, or of anyone else, is to loosen its grip on Czechoslovakia.

It is a myth that...
...Vietnam as it was to support civil-rights in the South. From now on issues will rarely be presented that are so clear-cut. The struggle now is to attempt the massive restructuring of a complex and highly industralized society. This will inevitably be a desperately slow process and we may as well resign ourselves to patience helped by a deepening of commitment...
