...viewed as much worse, by and large, than anti-Establishment figures who have caused all the recent flurries of public indignation. The results strongly suggest that the central theme of the young in protest against hypocrisy and double standards has more going for it in terms of potential public support than might have previously been imagined...
...poverty (as youngsters, he and a brother took turns with their single suit), Bradley organized what he called a "coalition of conscience." It included blacks, Mexican-Americans, white liberal Democrats and independents. After the April round eliminated the Republican Party from the nominally nonpartisan election, he also picked up support from liberal Republicans.

With virtually all the returns counted on election night, Pompidou had a strong 44% of the tally, Poher only 23%, with Duclos...
...peace talks and grant them independence. Toward such a goal, Count von Rosen's air force, however Lilliputian, is a significant help. As soon as his squadron has effectively disabled Nigerian airpower on the ground, Von Rosen intends to use his planes in close-up tactical air support of the Biafran troops...
