...moderate hands of men like Humphreyite Mike Gravel, the party senatorial candidate. New Democratic Coalition organizers haven't made contact with state liberals yet, though they will probably work through retiring Sen.

Technically, the community committee had a weak case. Rhody McCoy, the Ocean Hill-Brownsville administrator, finally filed charges against ten of the teachers. He cited the "excessive lateness" of one, the failure of four others to maintain class discipline, unspecified opposition to the decentralization experiment by others.

...only weak part of the Democratic production may be the climax. Vice President Hubert Humphrey has long been odds-on favorite to win a first-ballot nomination, and remained so on the eve of the convention. But even there, the Democrats were contriving to provide some suspense. Thanks to Humphrey's stumbling performance in recent weeks, doubts were multiplying about him as a candidate-and as a potential President. Rumors circulated in Chicago and Washington that if deadlock developed, delegates would draft Senator Edward Kennedy, who emerged from 21 months of seclusion to deliver an impressive speech in which...
