...predominantly pro-Nixon, the Percy-Rockefeller rapprochement* had psychological repercussions. There were three gubernatorial nonendorsements. James Rhodes of Ohio, Spiro Agnew of Maryland and George Romney of Michigan hung loose. The three states have 132 votes among them with enough Nixon sentiment to settle matters. As long as they remain even nominally neutral, however, Rockefeller and Reagan operatives can keep pleading elsewhere...
After ten years of decay, its shoreline is a sweep of greying yellow buildings. A few once posh hotels and restaurants remain open, but the epitaphs to their elegance and cuisine are written on the walls.

...matter how much economists slide-rule the economy, many imponderables remain. One is the U.S. corporation and how it will respond to another swerve in policy. The surtax will have some bad effects for companies: it will cut into corporate profits and decrease spending for improvements. At the same time, the new tax ought to make some change in the tenor of company-union relations. Up to now, when labor negotiations are fiercer than usual, the advantage has been with labor. With full employment and rising prices, unions have been able to negotiate contracts with an average increase...
