...comparative wealth, the typical delegate can hardly be accused of buying his convention seat. To be sure, the nation's political-finance reporting laws are notoriously lax. But at least on the record, the median contribution by 1964 delegates of either party to their state organizations was under $240 a year; less than 30% gave as much as $500. What really marks the typical delegate is a long record of giving time and energy to the party of his choice. This is what may pin the hack label upon him-though it also clearly demonstrates a continuing concern, whether...

Paris' Huntley and Brinkley-Pierre Dumayet and Pierre Desgraupes-as well as all of the other news regulars, remained off the air. Filling in for the eighth straight week were sketchy, scab-produced newscasts and a veritable festival of test patterns, canned variety shows and film antiques...
There were, to be sure, a few oversights. Somebody forgot to put life jackets in the neatly stenciled "life jeiket" containers under each seat. Other regulations were stretched in the happy excitement. As the plane whizzed toward Greenland, some passengers were invited up to the roomy cockpit, which looked familiar except for the Cyrillic script on the dials, and allowed to take pictures (which is forbidden over Russia proper...
