Giant Image. Nelson Rockefeller talks of multibillion-dollar schemes for urban redevelopment. Ronald Reagan, though popularly considered to be this year's Mr. Conservative, withdraws his opposition to California's open-housing law, promotes a legislative package aimed at economic salvation of the ghettos. Nixon, still regarded by many as the partisan epitomized, reaches out with new ideas for the support of independents and Democrats, and talks up the development of black capitalism. Humphrey, too, advocates expanded opportunities for Negro ownership of inner-city businesses...
Richard Nixon's celebrity roster is also brief-but heterogeneously charming. Its stars include Ray Bolger, John Wayne, Bart Starr, Ginger Rogers, Joe Louis and Rudy Vallee, who adjudges Nixon "the most qualified man in this country, intellectually and emotionally."

No match for Rafferty on the stump, the Senator so far has avoided a direct confrontation. His tactics appear to be paying off. Kuchel has recovered from an early slump in the polls, and by last week seemed headed for another victory in June...
