Competition for Cameras. After the ovation died down, Candidate Symington made it clear that he had not changed his mind about entering state primaries (in fact, the filing date for all but South Dakota and the District of Columbia had passed). And he took sharp issue with the Kennedy line that a couple of primary victories should open the way to nomination.

...make do with what he had. Somehow, Hoess did-and he is as methodically informative as a suburbanite fighting crab grass as he discusses the relative merits of poison gasses and the superiority of threeretort crematory ovens to four-retort ovens. Hoess remembers with almost nostalgic pride a date of peak efficiency when the camp gassed and cremated "rather more than 9,000" in a 24-hour period...
