...Party. Angela Davis herself has been quite regular in supporting these revolutions and the world-wide activities of the Communist Party in general. She has even defended the policies of the CPUSSR from attacks by those upset by reports of the persecution of Soviet Jews. While in Boston to stump for Edward Teixeira, the unsuccessful C.P. candidate for state representative from Wand 14 Angela explained that the situation of Jews in Russia "has been totally blown out of proportion by the bourgeois press because they're going to do everything they can to discredit socialism...
Traveling in his comfortable jet, Michelle Ann III (named for his granddaughter), Agnew is campaigning at a rather stately pace, but nevertheless, he has hit 32 states and covered more than 35,000 miles.

But former Budget Director Charles Schultze, a McGovern adviser, concedes that wage and price boosts might be higher under his candidate than under a re-elected Nixon. Schultze insists that the inflationary price must be paid, if necessary, to avoid...
...President in conference. With Nixon, the travel days are always predictable; bad scheduling is rare and mistakes never surface. The White House works overtime to show that they never occurred. The President moves at a careful pace, emphasizing his presidential duties, his larger responsibilities. On the stump, he never mentions McGovern or the Democratic Party, and only indirectly does he acknowledge that he even has an opponent...
