We could withdraw from South Viet Nam and let Ho Chi Minh have it-sort of a 1968 version of "peace in our time." We could even throw in Thailand and Laos to keep Ho happy. In a couple of years, we can let him have Korea and Japan; about 1975, Hawaii.

With less than three months remaining until the first statewide delegate primary in New York's history, Democratic Congressmen, State Senators, assemblymen, county chairmen, and party hacks are asking themselves the agonizing question: do I stick with Lyndon Johnson or do I throw my support to Robert Kennedy? A handful a day is switching, and it appears that Kennedy will control slightly more than two-thirds of the state's 190 delegates to the Chicago convention.
