...Real Issue." Well aware that defeat in West Virginia's popularity poll (it has no binding effect on delegates) would be interpreted as a death notice, Kennedy switched from the white-glove tactics he had used in Wisconsin. In a three-day foray he struck at Humphrey as a "hatchet man" who could not win the nomination himself but was "being used" by Texas' Lyndon Johnson and Missouri's Stuart Symington in a "stop-Kennedy" gang-up. Retorted Humphrey: "He's acting like a spoiled juvenile...
AGRICULTURE : "There is . . . a positive evil in these [soil-bank and acreage-retirement] programs: in effect, they reward people for not producing. For a nation that is expressing great concern over its 'economic growth,' I cannot conceive of a more absurd and self-defeating policy than one which subsidizes non-production." Goldwater's solution: "Prompt and final termination of the farm subsidy program...
...Pcong, 63, is a slight, indecisive-seeming ex-schoolteacher who suffers from a progressive, wasting disease. Its effect has become so severe that he now cannot stand alone and his speech is slow and slurred.

They shouted "Hurriyet [Freedom]" and began singing the famed marching song that Turks sang at Samsun in 1919 when the late great Ataturk landed to launch the fight for an independent Turkish republic...
...responsible, the precise ingredient eludes him. The evidence excludes practically all the known factors: iron, manganese, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, carbonates, sulfates and nitrates, and a variety of softening agents. Also -and most important from the public-health standpoint-it shows that addition of chlorine and fluorides has no effect on heart-artery disease. One clue: the more alkaline the water, the greater the protective effect on human arteries. This may be because more acid waters, which build up "rust in the pipes" to plague plumbers, also pick up impurities that create "rust" in the body's pipes...
