...Lions' voluble ringmaster, Joe Paterno, needed. "We're No. 1 as far as I'm concerned," said Paterno, and his boys made a sound case for his claim. They intercepted Tiger Quarterback Terry McMillan five times. When Missouri Coach Dan Devine sent in another pitcher, Chuck Roper, the Penn State secondary responded by intercepting two more throws for a record total of seven. Penn State Quarterback Chuck Burkhart completed eleven passes for 187 yds. and a touchdown. Final score: Penn State 10, Missouri 3. Said Devine: "If I had to vote, I'd vote...
Smuggled Remembrances. This week Speer's memoirs, after three years of polishing and editing, will be published. British Historian H. R.

According to a Gallup poll released this week, Humphrey trails Nixon by 15 points, 43 to 28. At roughly the same stage in 1948, a Roper poll showed Truman only 13 points behind the aloof and confident Dewey. Humphrey should know better than to trust the 1948 analogy anyhow. As an incumbent President, Truman commanded immense resources, as well as a strong and widespread, if quarrelsome, following. Humphrey has neither the resources nor a broad constituency...
