Conservatives also showed that they can throw a punch-or in some cases, a boomerang. In New York, sardonic William Buckley led the fledgling Conservative Party into third place in total votes, but there is a strong possibility that he lured away more Democrats (because of his Catholicism) than Republicans (because of his ideology) and helped elect, rather than defeat, John Lindsay. In Virginia, a Conservative Party candidate garnered nearly 70,000 votes-enough to thwart G.O.P. hopes of upsetting Harry Byrd's not-so-purring machine...
...timely rewriting made the punch lines only more telling. Not that the audience was unaware that up there on stage "Miriam" was being played by Barry Goldwater's sister Carolyn (Mrs. Bernard Erskine), and the bitchy "Sylvia" by Barry's sister-in-law Sally (Mrs. Robert Goldwater).

"A club that scores a touchdown and one half per game is very likely to win," he says...
...setting up Depolma, small IBAG (1964 sales: $9,500,000) beat some giants to the punch. Since early this year, Krupp has been trying to develop several direct joint enterprises with Poland, but so far has been more successful in setting up triangular trade agreements. A Polish contractor is building a Krupp-designed cement factory in Yugoslavia, and shipyards in Bulgaria are making fishing vessels for Ethiopia under subcontracts from Krupp; the company has offered similar triangular deals to the U.S.S.R. Essen's Rheinstahl has agreed to supply Hungary with steel and to engage later in joint manufacture...
