Equal Fire. Though Wallace had hitherto spent most of his time attacking Democratic liberals, last week he finally turned equal fire on the G.O.P. "If you vote the national Republican ticket," he told a Little Rock, Ark., audience, "you have thrown your vote away." In 1952, he reminded them, Republicans said "pretty things" to the South, but then appointed Earl Warren to the Supreme Court.

...calling "the Wallace factor." While Nixonites say optimistically that Wallace's strength will soon ebb (see following story), they are coppering their bets, talking less now about a "Southern strategy" and more about a "big-state strategy." Even if Wallace does take Southern states that the Republicans had hitherto counted on, they reason, Nixon can still win handily by capturing just a couple of the big states he lost...

...recent months, the board has rebuked railroads for an accident rate that has jumped 71% in six years. Applying to a railroad accident the sophisticated techniques used to determine the causes of plane crashes-an obvious but hitherto unheard-of innovation -it has found the "probable cause" (a switchman's error) of a collision in New York City last year. After the foundering of a 60-year-old freighter on Lake Huron in 1966 (28 died), it ordered the Coast Guard to intensify inspection of older ships plying the Great Lakes. Even a proposal to widen the breadth...
