...Michigan's Governor will have to go East for a running mate, and that his gaze perhaps will fall on Rhode Island. But even where the vice-presidency is concerned, being from a small state can hurt. The man in the second spot is supposed to strengthen the ticket by assuring victory in his state, as Texan Lyndon Johnson did in 1960, and thus the bigger the state, the more statesmanlike the vice-presidential candidate...

Estimated average time for the loading or unloading operation: three minutes...
...arches with museums, historical monuments and other cultural shrines. Instead, there is selective advice on how to establish oneself as a temporary Londoner: what newspapers and magazines to buy, which names to drop, when to be at which pubs or discotheques, and how to attack in the ticket-buying, reservation-cadging, club-crashing wars. The author, a TIME contributing editor who also wrote the April 15, 1966, cover story on swinging London, organizes her advice to help a hurried city hopper utilize all his time and energies among the mods and minis and their elders, who have lately turned London...
