With a Thud. The top candidates for the top job were all there except New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller, who insists that he does not want the job anyway. Richard Nixon, who was to leave this week on a three-week European tour, got in some last-minute politicking, shaking every hand in sight. Illinois' Freshman Senator Chuck Percy was busily huddling and helloing. But the cynosures were Michigan's Governor George Romney and California's Governor Ronald Reagan, who were scheduled to speak for three minutes each...
...newsmen at New York's Kennedy Airport had a little trouble with titles when Israel's ex-Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, 80, arrived with his wife for a three-week visit to the U.S. Some reporters called the indestructible old statesman "Mr.," others "Prime Minister." The Mrs. set them straight. "Ben-Gurion would be the nicest thing," she said. "Prime Minister anyone could be-Ben-Gurion nobody could be." Said B.

...vast majority of snowmobilers use their sleds for recreation, find that one five-gallon tank of gas lasts all day and opens up untracked terrain that would otherwise be inaccessible.

During his three-week ordeal, Roman Catholic Father John Hogan of Gary, Ind., lost six pounds, and "the tension was so high that I suddenly felt like crying when I was driving home." Mrs. Robert Stack, wife of the television actor, says: "You are almost hypnotized -and your mind goes blank. It's like being in a torture chamber." The horrifying experience Father Hogan and Mrs. Stack endured was distinctly beneficial: the Berlitz Schools' "Total Immersion" course, which aims to give its students a foreign-language fluency and vocabulary of 1,600 words a week...
...before he dares to make a speech. If he campaigns by car, he is limited to a "short, simple appeal" such as "Please vote for me." If he campaigns by sea or river, he is restricted to one boat. He may make only 60 speeches during the three-week campaign, no more than three of them on the radio. At his campaign headquarters he may serve nothing stronger than "tea and light cookies." Not much of a diet for the Diet, but it seems to be more than adequate for the nation's 63,500,000 qualified voters...
