...divorce with more finesse and dignity than most politicians could muster. It is still his crippling disadvantage, widely regarded as having cost him the nomination. Senator Smith's candidacy, however, seems to give him an outside chance. If her share of the total vote pulls Goldwater's slice well below Rockefeller's, giving the Governor a significant upset in New Hampshire, he could conceivably roll on to subsequent victories in Oregon and California...

Valerio has set up a division to manufacture calculating machines, linked an Edison oil outfit to a U.S. drilling company, and bought a slice of a big Italian pasta maker. But Edison's main thrust will probably be into chemicals, which form the largest base of the new combine...
