...even the birds far at sea were under surveil lance. Nearly 100 members of California's Golden Gate Audubon Society set out in a three-ship flotilla for the three-hour cruise to the offshore Farallon Is lands. In the process, the birders had to weather a sickening swell, the pungent aroma of the guano-splattered Farallons and the even more pungent smell of overripe suet, thrown overboard for bait.

A Gallup poll of Republicans reported that they think Richard Nixon would be the better candidate; the spread was 52% to 40%, with the balance undecided. On the other hand, Louis Harris assayed Republican and independent sentiment and found Romney ahead of Nixon...
