...which supposedly would reveal the type of man that the Republicans should nominate for vice-president. Conducted by James F. and Constance S. Collins, two statistical analysts, the study concluded that if the Republicans are to win in 1968 it is essential to have an Italian-Catholic on the ticket...
Post-Pepsi. For the short run, Kennedy's decision had the heaviest impact on Humphrey. Teddy on the ticket would conciliate many R.F.K. and McCarthy dissidents. More than ever, Humphrey's campaign badly needs a transfusion of that younger blood. McCarthy last week japed that Humphrey "may have been under house arrest for the past four years," and the Veep is indeed having more and more trouble shedding the stigma of the Johnson Administration's policies while simultaneously preserving the image of a faithful Vice President...
Going into the season's second half, eleven of the 20 big-league clubs are in the throes of attendance slumps. Ticket sales are 50,000 off last year's mid-season mark in Houston, 126,998 in Pittsburgh, 245,592 in Atlanta.

Or they may not play at all: Baltimore Colts Owner Carroll Rosenbloom has gone so far as to order his front office to work out plans for repaying 50,000 season-ticket holders. In either case, there is genuine concern for the damage a protracted strike may do to the image of the sport. "This league, the players must remember, didn't become a success overnight," says Washington's Williams. "And now it is in danger of being set back...
