What obviously annoyed Barry most was Johnson's statement that President Kennedy had been "a victim of hate"-the persistent Democratic implication being that the hatred was somehow inspired by conservatives. Cried Goldwater: "Immediately after the trigger was pulled, a hate attack against conservative Americans was started by the Communists, and taken up by the radical columnists and kept going. I never use the word 'hate.' I think it is the most despicable word in the English language...
...strong country," said Lyndon. "Not only does it produce fearless soldiers and people with great courage, but the grass that grows in the rock has a lot of mineral in it and the cattle that eat this grass are more valuable." Said Lady Bird: "You are both the victim and the friend of nature. It is something to see Lyndon in combat with the land. The land is unrelenting. He is unrelenting."

Stuttgart Salesman Wilhelm Boger, 57, onetime chief of the Auschwitz intelligence system, boasted that the place had the lowest escape rate of any Nazi concentration camp.

A Philadelphia jury gave $500,000 to a man injured in a taxi crash who claimed he suffered "excessive pain" in his back when anything touched it, even his clothing. A San Diego...
...plot deals with the dastardly career of Sweeney Todd, whose crimes are committed in a new and grisly way. The victim is seated in Sweeney's barber chair, a lever is pulled, and chug, chug, chug--the infernal contraption hauls the fellow off to be chopped up for the filling of veal pies. Sweeney's activities affect a wide circle of people including a hypocritical parson, an asylum warden, a judge, various military gentlemen, a tubercular heroine, and other hangers...
