...comeback attempt, Don Pepe delivered 805 speeches in eleven months and visited every town in the country. That performance was a wholly convincing reply to the young critics who questioned his vigor. Of his four opponents, his chief adversary was Mario Echandi Jimenez, another ex-President (1958-62), who accused Don Pepe and his National Liberation Party of Communist leanings. "I am not going to take anything from anybody who has struggled up the economic ladder," said the conservative Echandi.

New York University Associate Law Professor Leroy Clark, a black former Legal Defense Fund lawyer in Florida, calls Carswell "very bright." But, adds Clark, "he was probably the most hostile judge I've ever appeared before. He was insulting to black lawyers...
...negotiations. Contracts covering some 4,000,000 workers in such basic industries as railroads, trucking, autos, construction, rubber and meat packing will expire in 1970. Unionists will press strongly for wage gains to keep ahead of inflation. Caught in a profit squeeze, management is likely to resist with equal vigor...
