If his opponents somehow coalesced to block him, they would make the whole primary campaign look like a charade and probably lose the South, which increasingly views the Georgian as the man who has brought pride and power to the region. Thus, the D.N.C. is already preparing for the July convention and the fall campaign on the premise he will be the candidate. Democratic Chairman Robert Strauss officially must remain neutral, but he also expects to avoid a deadlock or a bloodbath at Madison Square Garden. He told a party luncheon last week: "I made a commitment...
...theme of repudiation runs strong-rejection of old faces and old methods. Many, if not most Americans -devout liberals as well as professed conservatives-now regard their Government as a huge, inefficient, tax-guzzling and somehow hostile presence.

Furthermore, the solidarity campaigns organized in the United States, Canada and Europe, which were so successful in saving many Chilean lives, have somehow become exhausted. Almost three years after the fall of Allende, the situation in Chile, needless to say, has not become any better, yet international outrage and concern have decreased. The Argentine military is thus carrying out a systematic campaign of repression coordinated with police action that might very well approach...
