...even as he declared himself out, Rocky deftly elbowed a rival Republican presidential possibility: Richard Nixon. Rockefeller indicated that in 1968 he might even support a favorite-son presidential nomination for New York's Republican Senator Jacob Javits. If he is still Governor, Rockefeller can almost certainly arrange for the New York Republican convention delegation to vote for Javits.

For TV planners decide what they are going to do next season only by prayerfully studying the ratings of the past season: discovering what they did right but failed to sell, what they did wrong which nevertheless sold well, what rival networks did with success that they could do too. Then they decide to do more of same. A study of the 34 new shows and 58 holdovers scheduled for the new fall season shows that spies are up, and so is witchcraft. Westerns are making a modest comeback, and literally...
