Unseating an incumbent President is a formidable challenge, but even so, some newly confident G.O.P. leaders think that the party will prove equal to the task. And who knows?given such volatile ingredients as Viet Nam, the racial crisis, the uncertain economy and the volcanic personality of Lyndon B. Johnson? "The next convention," said an Iowa Republican, "is going to be looking for a man to win an election, not just someone to run a race...

Brooklyn Family Court Judge Harold Felix has attacked all that in the case of an infant whom a hospital found suffering from broken legs and ribs. Charged with abuse, the parents sought dismissal for lack of evidence against them. Judge Felix invoked the negligence-law principle of res ipsa loquitur...
...Whaddya mean, 'What does a peace campaign prove'?" the bearded little man flashed at me, as we turned into the Window Shop. Without any sign of irritation he calmly put me down: "You shouldn't think that a peace campaign has to be some grand gesture, girl.
