...that had tumbled over his eye. If the scene recalled one of Robert Kennedy's last visits to the black ghetto, it was not entirely an accident. Seemingly awakened from a trance by Kennedy's murder. Nelson Rockefeller was at last campaigning for real, openly seeking the support of the poor and the minorities who had made Kennedy such a potent political force...
...McCarthy will have a difficult time persuading the Democratic convention that he is the man to lead a national reconciliation. Were Humphrey the choice, McCarthy suggested last week, he could only support him if the Vice President altered his position on the war. No matter who the nominee is, however, McCarthy intends to exert all the pressure of the party's dissidents on the platform committee in hopes of writing in strong planks on peace and racial justice.

The painful decision was to do nothing, aside from making a few perfunctory gestures. Kiesinger flew...
...Communist tactics confront the allies with a major dilemma. There are simply not enough troops to prevent small-scale infiltration and rocketing. Allied officers estimate that more or less permanent deployment of forces along the rocket ring would tie down as many as eight divisions or, counting support troops, some 100,000 men. Even then, they concede, the enemy could still get through the capital's defenses with sporadic rocket rounds and small ground incursions...
