...retirement, then by the defeat of a Faubus candidate in the party primary, and finally by Rockefeller's victory over Jim Johnson, is in a state of unaccustomed disarray. Moreover, the new Governor will give the Republicans control of each of the county election commissions, and that will tend to inhibit construction of a new statewide Democratic machine. Many of the 50 freshman Democrats elected to the legislature have no ties with the party establishment, and may be amenable to cooperating with a new and popular Governor...
Negroes, because they have made less economic and social progress than other minorities, still tend to bloc voting in the classic pattern. But even among Negroes, the racial lines did not always hold, and Stokely Carmichael's retrograde, black-power appeal clearly upset nearly as many Negroes as whites. In Baltimore, 83% of the Negro vote went to Republican (and "ethnic" Greek) Spiro Agnew for Governor-though only two years ago it had gone equally heavily along its traditional Democratic lines for Lyndon Johnson.

...most U.S. salts, and the annual effort of putting up the boats for winter was nearly completed. The usual technique is to haul them out, secure them on cradles and cover them with canvas. The method is timehonored, but in many ways unsatisfactory. In the first Place, wooden hulls tend to "come and go"' that is, the timbers shrink in the dry winter air, expand when put back in the water. As a result, hulls can warp, fittings are sometimes sheared. Secondly, the cradle in which a boat rests may not fit properly and thet boat will tend...
