...Muskie does not bring youth to this year's Democratic ticket, although his forceful, low-key manner will be attractive to many of the young. He is most knowledgeable in federal-state relations and problems of the cities. Even though he led the convention fight for the majority plank on Viet Nam, he has seldom spoken out on the war and privately has serious reservations about current American policy in Southeast Asia...
Muskie's family should be an asset to the ticket. He and his wife have five children ("three queens and two jacks"), aged 19 to seven. Jane Muskie, who was a Protestant and a Republican when, as a clerk in a Waterville dress shop, she first met her future husband in 1946, later converted to his political and religious faiths. They now live in a six-bedroom colonial house in Bethesda, Md., but also maintain a vacation cottage in Kennebunk Beach, Me. The Senator fishes and hunts in the Maine woods, sails off the coast, and is an amateur carpenter...

No Republican ever rates a shoo-in role in Oklahoma. However, unless Harris goes on the national ticket and somehow sweeps the state, Monroney may get to know Oklahoma much better after the November election...
...Ticket Strike. Other slowdowns have taken a variety of forms. To back up their demands for higher pay and shorter working hours, Kansas City firemen resorted to a slowdown in 1966 during which they continued to answer alarms but refused to keep records, make safety inspections or clean up debris after fires. Detroit policemen, demanding more money and better work conditions, staged a brief "ticket strike" last year, deliberately cut the number of summonses issued for minor traffic violations by 50%. Slowdowns also occur when workers phone in sick in large numbers, a ruse used over the past 18 months...
