Dubious Victory. One state that Nixon and the country will be watching closely for guidance is California, where last week's primary set up clear-cut liberal-conservative contests. Republican Governor Ronald Reagan was unopposed for renomination. He will now face Jess Unruh, a liberal Democrat who easily defeated Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty, a maverick and a hawkish conservative. In the Senate races, two challengers on the left were defeated when Republican Incumbent George Murphy and Democratic Congressman John Tunney won nomination...
Such episodes hardly smoothed the way for Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme's unofficial visit to the U.S. last week. Palme, 43, an abrasively expressive Social Democrat, has been one of his nation's strongest critics of U.S. war policies.

...service club scandals, the inability to answer North Korea's flea-bite seizure of the Pueblo-all these things and more have combined to bring the American military establishment into the noisiest disesteem since before World War II. Wisconsin's Senator William Proxmire, a liberal Democrat-but no doctrinaire foe of the armed services -has won national attention with his disclosures about military overspending beyond original estimates for weapons procurement, notably on the giant C-5A cargo plane...
