...Luther King Sr. and a number of other Negro leaders, including militants. He inveighs against the "Old Politics" and promises "new leadership" to appeal generally to voters groping for a guide. Just how effective that appeal can be was shown when a comely Illinois delegate told him during his visit to Chicago early in the week: "Governor, I'm a member of three minorities?I'm a woman, a Negro and a Republican. And each of us needs you to be President." But he has used old gambits, saying kind things about Ronald Reagan and Florida's Governor Claude Kirk...
...McCarthy would not quite do that, he is entirely capable of turning his campaign over to subordinates. Two weeks ago, he took three days off to visit his alma mater, St. John's University at Collegeville, Minn. He was taking time out, he said, to "levitate."

After the Union defeat at the first Bull Run, Willard's put on 30 extra bootblacks to scrape the red Virginia clay from the boots of returning officers. Walt Whitman watched...
Improper Bands. Since Lyndon Johnson's visit to South Korea in late 1966, more "serious incidents" have occurred than in all the previous 13 years of truce. So far this year, there have been more than 200 such episodes, in which six G.I.s, 36 South Korean soldiers and 55 North Korean infiltrators have been killed. North Korean Premier Kim II Sung recently declared a "month of struggle" against the South to mark the truce anniversary. Only last week, seven North Korean infiltrators were killed by U.S. and South Korean troops in two separate clashes along the 151-mile Demilitarized...
