Once in Washington, he found 500 excited fans waiting at the rainswept airport. But as Barry began to speak, eight leather-lunged clods from George Lincoln Rockwell's American Nazi Party set up a howl.

It's really pitiful what young people can do in this country if they have nothing else to do-but it's their constitutional right...

Flying in from rainswept Paris, Marlene left reporters gaping as she appeared in a fawn-hued raincoat, tall black boots with giant handbag to match-and a slouch-brimmed sou'wester. Having carried that off, she later headed for the show rehearsal in wrist-to-ankle blue jeans. But no need to fret, chaps. By show...
...back seat of the Humphrey limousine, he photographed the human details of the campaign. Just as a technical feat, this scene is unique, but it also constitutes a new high in realism and composition.
