While Kennedy was abroad, a new poll by Lou Harris found Bobby trailing Johnson as the 1968 presidential favorite, 44% to 56%-a complete reversal of the same survey's finding in November. The later report was based on a Jan. 14-22 sampling, a period in which the Manchester controversy was hottest. The Gallup poll taken two weeks earlier found Kennedy still ahead by nine points. That Kennedy's standing has sagged is evident, although the damage can undoubtedly be repaired long before the Senator has to test himself again at the polls. Meanwhile, trips like...
...plotting a countercoup. Cracking down, the military regime has enacted an antisubversion law that is reminiscent of Nkrumah's own draconian measures. Under the law, anyone who attempts to establish contact with Nkrumah, who plots subversion or who even knows about a subversive plot and fails to report it, is subject to summary trial before a special military court. The penalties range from 25 years in prison to death...
Bloomers & Space Suits. This civil war among the pincushions did nothing to keep away 850 journalists and 550 buyers, for whom Paris is still a prime laboratory for new ideas. And they found plenty to report. Not that skirts were longer; Feraud's hemlines, for instance, ranged from three to five inches above the knee, and hardly a dress in any of the showings could be worn by a woman over 35.

...good assault case against Callinan, whether or not he touched her. But by a vote of 2 to 1, a three-judge city criminal court without a jury convicted her on all charges. Last week she received a suspended sentence, on grounds of her "generally favorable" probation report and the assumption that she "acted in panic." But the prosecution had unquestionably made its point. "A lot of people didn't know tear-gas guns are illegal," explained Prosecutor Jeffrey Atlas. "Well, they know now." Unfortunately for Raven Novie, the lesson also includes a permanent criminal record...
While tropical diseases have added to the medical problems, a U.S.-South Vietnamese report finds that the number of psychiatric cases is "remarkably low for the number of troops involved." Only 1.5% of the U.S. troops have psychiatric complaints; the comparable rate in Korea was 6.6%, World War II 10.1%. Among the reasons: combat fatigue has been drastically reduced by the sporadic nature of the fighting and by the one-year tour of duty. The incidence of psychiatric disability seems to be highest at the beginning and near the end of the tour, says one Navy doctor, who notes that...
