Cutting Deep. Even so, Humphrey and Nixon attack the issue from markedly different starting points. Said the Vice President last week: "I do not believe the American people are bitter or filled with hate. I do not believe that they're racists. I intend to appeal to their basic goodness." Nixon had a more calculated approach: "The quiet Americans, the silent Americans, who have not been the protesters, who have not been the shouters-their voice is welling up across the country today. The great majority of Americans are angry. They don't like what's been...
...worst possible kind of TV. There is no rhyme or reason for it to be done, so it won't be. At night, Nixon rests." Agnew will be kept mostly out in the boondocks until he is completely sure of himself and until it is clear what attack the Democrats will use against him. Then, to take advantage of his Greek ancestry, he will be sent into ethnic neighborhoods of northern cities. Last week he spoke in such places as Oshkosh, Wis., and Paramus...
...country may think of Mayor Richard Daley and his Chicago police, he is clearly a hero on his own turf. That became evident last week when Chicagoans, responding to worldwide criticism of Daley and his cops' tough tactics, reacted as if they had been under personal attack.

And from gas masks to astronaut-type suits, air-filtering systems and early-warning devices, no known precautions promise to save more than a few people from a well-executed attack. No country is really fully prepared for the horrors of chemical or biological warfare, but repeated international efforts to outlaw CBW have not halted the growing interest in its potential. Few diplomats give Britain's current ban-the-germ campaign at the Geneva disarmament talks any realistic chance of succeeding...
...Herbert Hoover who promised "a chicken in every pot," for example. The phrase was used in a 1928 G.O.P. campaign flyer, and was perpetuated as a Hooverism after Al Smith seized upon it for an ironic, scoffing attack. In any event, the term originated with France's King Henry IV (1553-1610), a champion phrasemaker of his day. He observed: "I wish there would not be a peasant so poor in all my realm who would not have a chicken in his pot every Sunday." Henry was also the three-centuries-removed ghostwriter for James G.
