...seizure after eating a hamburger," he remembers. "I was in agony all through an interview with the Vice President." Ex-pharmacist Humphrey rushed to his medicine chest in the tail of the plane and produced a pill. "Take this," he said. "It will relax the spasm in your esophageal tract." It did. Later, Lamont's doctor confirmed the Humphrey diagnosis...
...story of how Harvard got money from small farmers all over England to educate the Indians of Massachusetts is still a poignant one. It begins with the publication in 1647 of a tract by two Englishmen, "The Day-Breaking, if not the Sun-Rising of the Gospell with the Indians in New England."

...under the protection of free speech. The change of law in 1966 meant to the welfare department that medical bills from contraceptive consultation and prescription could be processed unless the woman was unmarried, divorced or widowed.

Until recently, writers and publishers had all but forgotten Hubert Humphrey, except for an anti-H.H.H. tract entitled The Rise and Fall of a Liberal. They had virtually overlooked Nelson Rockefeller and Richard Nixon. Bookmen had also underrated Eugene McCarthy, who perspicaciously published a collection of his own views last fall. But they hardly ignored Bobby Kennedy, who has been the subject of about one book a month in the past...
