Certainly, it is too early to establish odds on the election. The areas of Goldwater strength are selective and outside the big power centers, such as New York and Pennsylvania. Barry is still flying high on the cloud of post-convention momentum that buoys any newly anointed candidate. Lyndon Johnson has not yet begun to fight. And beyond this, Barry is riding on a wave of white backlash against the summer's civil rights violence that could rise or diminish between now and November.

He would rather have been in Southern California. But the arch-conservative Archbishop of Los Angeles, James Francis Cardinal Mclntyre, banned the liberal Roberts from lecturing there.

...glorious Chinese People's Republic, to indulge in such barbarian ostentation as a limousine was hardly thinkable. Nonetheless, Mao has apparently decided to make the great leap forward in style. Peking has placed an order with Britain's decadent Rolls-Royce Ltd., for a $12,726 Silver Cloud Mark III and a $20,454 Phantom V. They should do a lot for his image at the Gate of Heavenly Peace, since with a little friendly assistance even the clock in a Rolls can be persuaded not to tick...
