...Apple Pie!" In what was probably his final tour as a noncandidate, Romney last week addressed 1,300 Republicans in St. Paul, then flew to neighboring Wisconsin for a day of speechmaking. He impressed a breakfast meeting in La Crosse, particularly when he blasted the Democrats for having saddled the nation with "the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now, L.B.J.'s Ordeal."

This, week some 600 Republicans from across the country will crowd Detroit's riverfront Veterans' Memorial Building to hear what is being billed as a major announcement by Michigan's Governor.

But questioners in the audience wanted to know about 1964. Romney, who was running for re-election as Governor in 1964, gave the explanation that most politicians understand: "We did in Michigan," he said, "what we thought contributed the most to the Republican Party in the state."
