...Camelots. The Kennedy camp has sought to exploit Humphrey's new ties with the South. Ted Sorensen, one of Kennedy's top speechwriters and strategists, charged on a television panel show last week that Humphrey had already offered the vice-presidential nomination on his ticket "to every Southern Governor." When pressed as to his source, Sorensen insisted: "I know he has." Which governors in particular? "Right across the board." The idea of Humphrey putting Lester Maddox or Lurleen Wallace as close to the presidency as the proverbial heartbeat is, of course, bafflegab, and Sorensen himself later backed away...
...even at this early stage, speculative ticket construction is an obsessive pastime. Among Southern Governors who are believed to have vice-presidential aspirations are Louisiana's John McKeithen and Texas' John Connally. After considerable comparative shopping, John Kennedy chose a Southerner in 1960. But why not choose Robert Kennedy?

Motion pictures will be fitted to the patron's personality." Perhaps, the Czechs were correct to suggest at Expo '67 that movies could ultimately depend on the audience. For if the audience...
While proven classroom performance remains the best ticket to college, other qualities can also turn the trick - a wild sense of humor, a weird hobby, or almost anything that sets a student off from the ordinary. Anxious to tap un usual attributes that may not show up in a high school senior's grades or test scores, college admissions officials are relying more heavily on references from school principals and personal inter views with the applicant himself. In selecting next year's freshmen, the nation's leading universities took extra pains to seek out students who, says...
