...private poll that he commissioned, only two Democrats would enhance Humphrey's popularity. One is McCarthy, but his often-abusive treatment of Humphrey in recent days all but ruled him out. The other is Teddy Kennedy, who would add at least 15% to Humphrey's vote total. The figure might have been higher had the survey been conducted after Teddy's speech. However, Teddy described himself as one "who will not run for office this year," and Humphrey's chances of persuading him to become his running mate seemed remote at best...
...racing. A horse that covers 350 yds. in 18 sec. is likely to win, while a horse that finishes only one second later can be dead last. And big money rides on every split second. Pari-mutuel betting is now permitted in 13 states, and last year's total handle was $78,328,686. In that same period, purse money increased from $1,752,256 to $6,984,558. Dollar for distance, it is the richest racing in the world...

One of his most effective arguments in their view is that he is "presiding over the disappearance in its present state" of the Education Ministry itself. A prime-and wholly legitimate-target of the uprising was the ministry's total dominance of all public education.

Though sisal-producing countries have managed to keep total output fairly constant in recent years, about 660,000 tons annually, they have had to slash their prices to maintain their markets. From $700 a ton in the early 1950s, sisal has sunk to its present $168 level, which makes it hardly worth harvesting at all. And there is no hope of reversing the trend. The time-honored tactic of withholding the product from the market to drive up its price would only backfire, sending an even larger share of potential sales to synthetic fibers...
