Thus the consensus that came after Atlantic City may be just as tenuous as the afterglow from San Francisco. Between now and November, Johnson and Humphrey must contend against two men, Goldwater and William Miller, who are nothing if not swift to seize upon issues. And even as the Democrats were leaving Atlantic City, two old issues took on new meaning.

In a show of 23 recent works that opened last week in Manhattan's Terry Dintenfass Gallery, Goodman's three-panel Trilogy suggests a man who enters a closet and hangs himself.
