...among securities analysts about the market's actual strength. Those of bearish mind argue that higher income taxes will shortly begin to quell the consumer buying spree that has kept the U.S. economy humming. As evidence that there is little real steam behind the market surge, they cite the fact that trading volume on the Big Board has slipped below its spring torrent. The bulls point to such rosy predictions as last week's forecast by the National Association of Business Economists that the economy faces only a "brief hesitation late this year and early in 1969."

...party leader, Nicolae Ceausescu, and the press in Moscow's allied capitals followed dutifully. So similar was the pattern of visible and intelligence-monitored Soviet activity to what preceded the invasion of Czechoslovakia that an alarmed President Lyndon Johnson spoke out. Though he did not specifically cite Rumania in an otherwise routine speech before a San Antonio milk producers' convention, he made his meaning clear. "There are rumors," he said, "that this action [against Czechoslovakia] might be repeated elsewhere in the days ahead in Eastern Europe. We cannot and we must not return in the year...

His campaign program is not significantly different from McCarthy's. McGovern has strongly opposed the war since...
When in November Richard Nixon fell to defeat for what must have seemed to him an unbearable last time, he broke out crying to the press the reason for his loss. He did not cite Humphrey's brilliant "folksiness" on the debates. Instead he quoted from a scholarly work by a Harvard professor which documented in 700 pages America's unkind feelings towards musicians (long-haired, sexual deviates...) and announced that he was entering a career as a concert pianist...
