...weekend to meet with party leaders and shore up his delegate strength. He delivered mild gibes at McCarthy, but concentrated most of his attacks on Nixon and the Republican nominee's Southern supporters. "Nixon called on the midnight of the South," said Humphrey.

On the same theme, Humphrey hopes to popularize the slogan "Clear it with Strom," suggesting that South Carolina's Strom Thurmond has veto power over Nixon's decisions.

...bulletproof vest hung over his plaid shirt and his legs were encased in armored trousering when he was led, handcuffed, from a 61-ton armored van into Shelby County jail at dawn. A score of deputies with riot guns formed a defensive perimeter. Ray was hustled to an air-conditioned cell on the jail's third floor. Heavy steel plates block cell windows.
