...March 12 primary approaches, a well-organized, intensive campaign is being waged on behalf of a Democrat whose name is not even on the ballot. Barely noticed outside the state, the write-in drive for Lyndon B. Johnson might very well serve as a model for the real thing in November...
Both in repartee and rhetoric, Nixon's pitch to New Hampshiremen was generally more incisive than Romney's cloudy oratory, but occasionally it seemed that they had a common guru. "The real crisis of America today," Nixon declared at one point, "is a crisis of the spirit. What America needs most today is what it once had, but has lost: the lift of a driving dream."

Westmoreland himself called the enemy campaign "a bold...
...Cuba's official party newspaper, Granma, announced the news: 43 "traitors to the revolution" had been arrested and would face trial for "intrigues" and "conspiratorial actions." That alone was not too surprising under Castro's oppressive regime, but Granma followed it up a day later with a real stunner: the plotters were in league with the Russians. Thus, as he might savor a slow-burning, pungent Havana cigar, Castro revealed to the world the scope of Cuba's steadily worsening relations with Moscow...
