...means is Reagan a shoo-in for the statehouse. Since registered Democrats outnumber Republicans in California by a 3-to-2 ratio, he must capture 90% of G.O.P. voters and attract at least 20% of the Democrats. And despite an early margin of 15% over Brown in June, he led the Governor by only 4% last week. Brown, who greatly relishes the role of underdog, in the past has risen from all-but-certain defeat to fell such G.O.P. Goliaths as former Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland in 1958 and Richard M. Nixon in 1962. Yet Reagan, who makes...
...Used Carr." Since Connally is a shoo-in for reelection, liberals decided at the state Democratic convention last month to visit their revenge on Attorney General Waggoner Carr, the Governor's hand-picked candidate to oust first-term Republican Senator John Tower. Stomping angrily out of Austin's City Auditorium, liberal delegates yelled through a resolution authorizing their followers to support Tower, who stumped Texas for Goldwater in 1964 but has moderated his views somewhat...
...reports in order to build up the value of its stock? If not, just what had he done to deserve firing? As of last week, no one was quite willing to say.

Some lineup...
...armed with a tin cup and either a guitar or colored chalks to wrest pennies for wine and smokes from sidewalk patrons. Britons, who tend to consider eccentrics national assets, regard their beatniks with tolerant amusement. Charles de Gaulle's police have been trying, with scant success, to shoo them out of newly scrubbed Paris. Chancellor Ludwig Erhard is truly outraged, for the happy-go-lucky Gammler, as they are known in West Germany, are an insult to the image of neat, tidy, hard-working Germans...
Some of Javits' friends consider him dotty even to try. He will be 64 at the next convention, close to the acceptable age limit even for a Vice President. One of the greatest votegetters in New York State's history, he is a shoo-in for a third six-year Senate term in 1968. Though a member of the minority party and something of a maverick, whose abrasiveness and hustle have always barred him from the Senate's cozy inner establishment, he has achieved rare respect and stature by force of intellect, diligence and integrity...
