Then Barry MacKay lost as expected to Australia's Cooper to tie the match score. But next day Olmedo teamed with Ham Richardson in the doubles against Anderson and Neale Fraser. The U.S. pair promptly lost the first two sets, had to rally desperately...
...would give up some of his anticipated 200,000 majority to concentrate on working for Gene McCarthy in what Master Planner Humphrey called "a unified campaign." Specifically theD.FL.: ¶ Ignored the political rule that candidates traveling and handshaking separately get more crowd exposure, sent Freeman and/or Humphrey handshaking in tandem with quick-to-learn Gene McCarthy. ¶ Refined a technique of farmers' socials, got local D.F.L. farm contacts to invite neighbors for coffee and ice cream, drew 100-or-so hard-to-reach farmers at a time to shake friendly Humphrey-Freeman- McCarthy hands and hear out criticisms...
