Can Tokyo possibly finish the building job by October? There have been doubters. Workmen are still scrambling all over the swooping, tent-shaped roof of the vast Olympic swimming pool and the upward...

Sample Tribune comment: "Because Senator Goldwater is the one candidate who can capture large chunks of Democratic votes without conceding to the Democrats more than a handful of GOP votes, he is the obvious choice for the minority party." Goldwater has remained the Tribune's choice through thick and thin. It classified Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton's last-minute arrival onstage as "a late and vain challenge" and "an exercise in futility...
