He covered five states in three days and, as he told 65,000 people in Buffalo's Niagara Square on his first stop, "before the leaves begin to turn brown, we'll be in many more, looking and listening, and even talking from time to time." Even talking? Johnson did little else, delivering eight full-dress speeches defending his record, exhorting Americans to support him in Viet Nam, promising ever greater rewards from the Great Society...

Moreover, she seems able to throw a continuous barrage of barbs at Claiborne Pell, whom she calls a "curlyheaded croquet player from Newport." Referring to Pell's good looks, she says: "I concede that if the election were on the basis of looks, I would lose. My campaign...

The African townships surrounding Johannesburg now have a population of 650,000 (v. the city's 450,000 whites). And, for all the restrictions, the regime does not seriously try to stop the flood. The whites cannot get along without them...
