Friendly Fishmongers. At the Democrats' raucous caucus in Manhattan's 71st Regiment Armory, Bobby Kennedy won hands down over upstate New York Congressman Samuel Stratton. The 968,153 vote failed to reflect the resentment of many convention delegates that Bobby is by no stretch of the imagination a New Yorker.

But the Turkish Cypriots, lacking the control of the main ports that Makarios' men enjoy, have had to adopt unorthodox import techniques that make it impossible to bring in as many reinforcements as the Greeks. One battalion of perhaps 200 paratroopers was recently dropped clandestinely along the 15-mile-long road from Nicosia to coastal Kyrenia, where the legal Turkish regiment keeps watch over the only outlet from the capital the Turkish Cypriots control.
