...Democratic National Convention in Chicago if Negroes are excluded from the party. So last week the old guard retreated. For the first time since the 1870s, Mississippi's party chiefs decided to admit Negroes to a statewide caucus that will meet at Jackson on July 2 to select 48 convention delegates and 24 alternates. In eight of the state's 82 counties, disciplined blacks and a smattering of young white allies elected 47 Negroes. Jefferson County, over 70% black, chose Civil Rights Leader Charles Evers as delegation chairman...
Only Mike Ezell and Graham Maloney, two select sophomores, managed to put together the winning combination of serves, ground-strokes, and vollies in the singles matches. The number one doubles match was called because of boredom with the score deadlocked at 10-10 in the third...
...struggle for liberalization, in essence, is just another manifestation of the age-old conflict between two opposed mentalities; to speak very broadly, those of the "Bureaucrat" and the "Intellectual."

In Washington, Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield cried: "Excellent, excellent! The ice jam has been broken." "This is the best news I have heard for a long time," said U.N. Secretary-General U Thant...
Ironically, Kennedy could win a plurality in Nebraska's popular voting, yet lose a substantial portion of the state's 28 convention delegates to McCarthy. Because Nebraska filings closed before Bobby announced, no Kennedy-committed candidates are listed on the ballot to select the 22 at-large delegates. The at-large ballot is a bewildering laundry list of 75 names-21 identified as uncommitted, 30 as committed to Lyndon Johnson, and 24 as committed to McCarthy. If the Minnesotan's partisans carefully vote only for his delegates while the rest of the ballots are scattered among...
