...rather special sense during the 1968 presidential campaign. They are doing so with the help of George Wallace. The Alabamian is gaining so many votes, says one happy Southern Congressman, that he is now as strong as "50 acres of horseradish." Other Congressmen are appalled at the possible result: the Wallace phenomenon may throw the election into the House of Representatives. The outcome could foil most voters' wishes and upset the two-party system in Congress. To House Majority Whip Hale Boggs, "the idea is absolute anarchy...
...York lawyer argues that even Nelson Rockefeller could wind up in the White House. This theory has a bizarre plausibility. Assume that Wallace carries only four Deep South states with a combined total of less than 43 electoral votes. As one result, both Nixon and Humphrey fail to gain the needed 270 majority in the Electoral College. As another, New York's 43 electors-chosen under Nixon's G.O.P. banner but not constitutionally bound to vote for him-revive old loyalties, cast their ballots for Rockefeller. Heeding the Constitution, the Electoral College sends the names of Nixon, Humphrey...

As a result, the Soviet leaders, though they came to a sort of modus Vivendi with Tito 13 years ago, rightfully point to him as the originator of the ideological troubles that have undermined their position as the sole interpreter of Communist truth and orthodoxy...
Revived Rebellion. Thus in la noche triste, or the sad night as it was immediately named, Mexico City's students and the government reached a tragic climax of the quarrels that began last July. It was at least partly the result of a miscalculation. The students had planned a mass march to one of their campuses occupied by the army, but called it off at the last moment when they heard there were troop concentrations along the route. However, the army, under strict orders to crush the demonstrations at any cost, moved in anyway...
