Even a candidate under a neo-know-nothing banner must be positively for something as well. Wallace showered his encomiums on God, states' rights, victory in Viet Nam and, of course, himself. He will probably run for President on a third-party ticket, he said, because all the other potential candidates are too liberal. The promises of conventional conservatives to protect state and local governments from the bogeymen in Washington will not do, Wallace insisted. Said he: "They've got to put the hay down where the goats...
...traced largely to the board's four junior members-all economists, all appointed since 1961, all independent enough in word and deed to blur old liberal-conservative labels, flout traditions, flaunt new ideas.

...rule was broken by the French conquest in the 19th century, but Morocco still claims its former lands, including much of the Algerian Sahara, the northern parts of Senegal and Mali and all of Mauritania. Morocco's territorial claims are plainly unacceptable to its neighbors, who brand them "neo-imperialism," and embarrassing to its friends. For all Washington's interest in protecting Morocco, it cannot afford to give Hassan's army anything more than defensive weapons...
