...make himself known, Hughes has campaigned furiously from Cape May Court House to the Bayonne waterfront. To back Hughes, New Jersey's Democrats have plenty of money-and they intend to spend it. Hughes's campaign expenses will come to $1,000,000 or more. From Washington have come Interior Secretary Stewart Udall and Labor Secretary Arthur Goldberg to stump for Hughes, and from Massachusetts came Teddy Kennedy to spread the family charm...
...ostensible reason for Mikoyan's visit was to open the Soviet Trade Fair in Tokyo's huge, domed exhibition hall on the Harumi waterfront.

Using this nucleus, the trustees plan an eventual 200-acre campus, designed by top U.S. architects. Hiss himself is donating his own home for President Baughman...

The stubborn discrimination of the North has forced them to congregate in four waterfront districts that police bluntly call "the trouble wards." The area is now a classic slum, going from bad to worse; during the past three years, the assessed value of property on Newburgh's downtown streets has dropped...
