...instant as Sally primps. Two songs run on top of each other in distinct gibberish as she smiles at her date. The soundtrack is used by Waletzky to tell us what the pictures alone only suggest. Near the end, sound pops into sync with the click of a light-switch, grabbing our attention for the brief, affirmative finale...
...every five voters?something like 14 million Americans?will choose the moment's satisfaction and pick Wallace and General Curtis LeMay, his running mate, next month. Fervent Wallaceites may, of course, decide at the last minute that a vote for their man is a wasted ballot and switch to either Humphrey or Nixon, but there is no evidence that this will happen.

...feel my role is that of a spiritual counselor to men of all parties," Graham insists, "and the moment I start getting involved in partisan politics, it would greatly diminish my ministry." But if he ever does switch to political crusades, his views would resemble those of his friend the candidate. Like Nixon, Graham considers that the Supreme Court has "gone too far" in favoring criminals. He supports Black Power, but only if it means "a feeling of self-respect," not violence or civil disobedience. He believes that the demonstrators at the Democratic Convention in Chicago (where he also gave...
