...King, a Johnson loyalist, predicted that the President would "murder" him. Opinion samplers gave him 10% to 20%. Instead, he polled a stunning 42.2% of the Democratic vote to Johnson's 49.4%. With an addition al 5,511 Republican write-ins (McCarthy, astonishingly, ran third on the G.O.P. ticket), he trailed the President in the overall tally by a scant 230 votes...
...carefully avoided the race issue. Avoiding the campaign as well, Griffin stayed home with a case of diplomatic flu while Evers' forces staged a get-out-the-vote campaign that resulted in a record turnout for a special election. Evers picked up 10,000 votes from his ticket-topping pace total in the primary. But Griffin got the rest and swamped Evers...

At its best, in the N.H.L., it was still played in only six cities, the southernmost of which was New York, the westernmost Chicago. And just try to find a ticket. Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens (capacity: 15,591) has not had a single unsold seat for an N.H.L. game since 1946. In Montreal, scalpers demand-and get-as much as $30 for a pair of $5 tickets to Canadiens' home games. Despite six cellar finishes in seven years, the Boston Bruins consistently...
