During the early weeks of this year's Republican presidential primary in New Hampshire, Goldwater reiterated this stand. It did not go over very well, particularly with the large segment of the New Hampshire population that depends on social security. Rival Nelson Rockefeller jumped on the Goldwater argument, charged that to make social security voluntary would be to make the system actuarially unsound, bankrupt it, and turn it into a "personal disaster to millions of senior citizens and their families." Somehow sensing that he had said the wrong thing, Barry backed away, started replying to those who asked...
...likely to be? While Wilson indulges in some ritualistic patter about Wall Street operators and Ruhr barons, he stresses science more than socialism, efficiency as much as welfare. Besides, a great deal of Britain is socialist for keeps, no matter who is in power. Coal mines, railroads and a segment of steel are nationalized already; the gas and electric industries are run by public corporations, as are airlines, broadcasting, canals and atomic energy...
Consummate Cleavage. The second segment was about a lantern-jawed toad (Jack Klugman), whose secretary was so dumb that she wrote him notes so badly garbling the English language that she said RETURN A MOOSE'S HARNESS when she meant RETURN MRS.

...conceived and largely written by Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher, who wrote and produced the old Amos 'n' Andy series. Each half-hour is a series starring a different set of people, all of whom live in the same complex of garden apartments. In the first segment last week, a 16-year-old girl (Debbie Watson) drove to an airport to pick up an Italian exchange student who was to be her blind date for a school prom. Instead, she picked up Alberto Giacometti, or his equivalent, a world-famous Italian sculptor, who happened to be passing through...
...latest Minnesota poll, published by the Minneapolis Tribune, shows Lyndon Johnson leading Barry Goldwater by an amazing 74% to 22% in the state. MacGregor thus suffers from identification on the ticket with Goldwater. At the same time, a diehard segment of Goldwaterites in his district threatens to boycott MacGregor because he was a strong supporter of Bill Scranton at San Francisco...
