...Apple Pie!" In what was probably his final tour as a noncandidate, Romney last week addressed 1,300 Republicans in St. Paul, then flew to neighboring Wisconsin for a day of speechmaking. He impressed a breakfast meeting in La Crosse, particularly when he blasted the Democrats for having saddled the nation with "the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now, L.B.J.'s Ordeal." The reception was chillier at the University of Wisconsin, where blue-jeaned students greeted him with catcalls. When Romney declared, "There's nothing more basic in America than belief in our Creator," one student jeered...
Also on the stump was Alabama's former Governor George Wallace, who began a weeklong, six-city tour of Ohio in the hope of getting the 433,100 signatures he needs to have his name placed on the ballot there as an independent presidential candidate. The feat is probably beyond Wallace's band of eager amateurs, but he was drawing sizable audiences, as he had the week before on the West Coast. If nothing else, the natty gnat promises to be a disruptive influence...
...techniques. Warned by the Tunku that Communist China will certainly capture all of Southeast Asia if the war is lost, Humphrey repeated in essence what he had said in Viet Nam: "We mean to stick it out."

During a tour of the Malaysian Parliament, the Vice President sat in the Speaker's chair and ruefully commented...

Though the State Department had no hand in promoting the tour, Washington was nonetheless pleased by it, and hoped that it might presage an improvement in American-Cambodian relations, which have been almost nonexistent. Sihanouk broke off relations with the U.S. in 1965, as a protest against the bombing of a Cambodian village by South Vietnamese planes. The U.S., for its part, has repeatedly complained about Cambodia...
...relaxation, life in the Soviet Union has a boring and sometimes even a brutish quality. Outside his home, the Russian cannot walk, sit clown or breathe without seeing a slogan, a flag, a statistic, a portrait of Lenin, a piece of heroic Soviet statuary. He is rarely allowed to tour outside the Soviet Union by himself, even in other socialist countries, and he must show an internal passport when he travels within his own country. A Russian spends much of his free time standing in queues, where he must push and heave to defend his place. Partly because of boredom...
