...Shock Ploy. This is the most extreme version of the theory that Humphrey must above all dissociate himself from Lyndon Johnson. He resigns forthwith as Vice President (this has been seriously considered by Columnists Clayton Fritchey, Ted Lewis and others) and proves that he has at last become his own man. He calls for an immediate, unconditional bombing halt in Viet Nam and phased withdrawal of U.S. troops. He possibly balances this dovish move in Asia by getting tough with the Russians in Europe, issuing stiff warnings to Moscow against any more dangerous moves on the Continent. He further breaks...
...Candor Caper. Conceding that Plan No. 1 is too extreme, Humphrey resuscitators consider this a more reasonable and plausible version of the shock ploy. After hymning the Democratic record under such great Presidents as Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, Humphrey announces that it is indeed time for a change-a Democratic change. He analyzes the nation's discontents, proposes root-and-branch cures, and submits a list of priorities based on de-escalating a war that, however noble its original aims, has become irrelevant to the more pressing needs of a divided America. The line...
...berry R.F.D. (CBS) is a revised version of The Andy Griffith Show. The new star, Ken Berry, carries on in the tradition: he is a widower in love with a bakery employee (Arlene Golonka). Here's Lucy (CBS) is just a new title for the old Lucy Show, except that Lucy's two real-life kids will be around; naturally she is a widow. So is Doris Day (CBS), who is making her TV debut in The Doris Day Show. She portrays a singer who leaves career and city after the death of her husband and goes...
...quite so dramatically as that of the Lockheed model, a fact that should make the B-2707 slightly more efficient at subsonic speeds, slightly less so at its maximum cruise speed of 1,800 m.p.h. And while Lockheed planned to build its plane without a horizontal tail, the Boeing version will have a relatively conventional tail configuration...
Even with its new model, Boeing will have to pare down the plane's passenger capacity to 250. That will still be a sufficient payload to make the plane profitable, however, and will enable the craft to achieve the designed range. The new version, employing the familiar fixed-wing concept, should also take less time to build. That is particularly important, since the slower (1,550 m.p.h.), delta-wing Anglo-French Concorde, a rival SST entry, is scheduled to make its first test flight this fall and start commercial service in mid-1971, five years earlier than...
