Humphrey's campaign manager, Larry O'Brien, still calculates that the Vice President will collect some 1,600 delegate votes on the first ballot-or nearly 300 more than the 1,312 he will need for nomination. Indeed, a TIME survey of the states' delegations indicated that, as of last week, Humphrey could count on 1,524 probable delegate votes. McCarthy, the survey suggested, would get 626, and McGovern somewhere around...
...smallish states could be decisive-north or south of the Mason-Dixon line. But it seems unlikely that the South will go as a bloc for any one candidate. Wallace will almost certainly take a few states, with Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana his surest bets. Humphrey might collect Tennessee, Arkansas and possibly Georgia, states in which Wallace and Nixon are likely to cut into each other's vote.

Listeners anywhere may phone collect (Area Code 212: 749-3311) and argue racial issues with an influential national figure who is guest of the night, say James Baldwin, the Rev. Ralph Abernathy, Muhammad All, Sargent Shriver or Arthur Miller...
...Biafra; Jess Meade, also an American: and a Rhoedesian with the pseudonym of "Bill Brown." Mr. Martin's head was never found, McGuire says, so "the missionaries buried what they could find of him." "Bill Brown" reportedly had a wife and family in Rhodesia, who are vainly attempting to collect the money he deposited in a bank under his real name, for they have no proof that he is dead. "No death certificate, no anything...
