...district, and would likely give Rockefeller the toughest race. But since Stratton lost a bitter fight for the Democratic senatorial nomination in 1964 to Robert Ken nedy, whose subsequent election made him the party's top panjandrum in the state, Stratton's hopes of organization endorsement are slim. According to some readings, in fact, Kennedy would rather see Rockefeller win again in 1966 than have a strong Democratic Governor to challenge his control of New York's delegations to the 1968 and 1972 Democratic conventions...
...points and set up three other Philadelphia baskets with assists, as the 76ers beat the Baltimore Bullets 108-104 in their last game of the season. The victory was Philadelphia's eleventh straight, and it earned the 76ers the N.B.A.'s Eastern Division championship-by the slim margin of one game over the perennial champion (nine straight years) Boston Celtics...
...thing, there is the question of how to keep underthings out of sight. Plunging armholes, cut-outs and open midriffs bare whatever necklines don't reveal. Yesterday's brassieres were sturdy supports; today they have become slim bands in the wispiest of fabrics, with halter straps for bareback dresses, and low sides for bib tops.

As one young modern put it: "Let's face...
...figure with the curly brown hair and perpetually wrinkled forehead popped up everywhere as Dej's delegate: Moscow in 1959 and 1961, Italy in 1962, Peking in 1964. On his only known Western vacation, Ceausescu checked into Paris' Prince de Galles Hotel in 1963, along with his slim, sloe-eyed wife Elena, herself a chemist and economics writer. Elena Ceausescu won her bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1963, after Gheorghiu-Dej decided education was an asset for his underlings. At the same time, Ceausescu emerged suddenly with a degree in engineering...
