...time for the Republican candidates to quit conceding the South to the Democrats without a battle." To the conservative Southerners he pictured the Democrats, Northern style, as a party that wants "to progress through spending billions more of the people's money, through increasing the functions, the size and the power of the Federal Government." Echoing a Southern threat, he predicted that "millions of Democrats will vote for our ticket this year, not because they are deserting their party but because their party deserted their principles." Only once were his remarks met with silence. Bringing up civil rights, Nixon...
...Howard Smith in the House-all that remained of the original Kennedy-Johnson list of short-session "must" measures was the only genuine, non-politicking item in the lot: foreign-aid appropriations.

Johnson Fan. That same answer might well have come from Russia's Kuznetsov. At 6 ft. 1 in., 187 lbs., Kuznetsov, by profession a high school science teacher, has neither the size nor the natural talent of Johnson. To make the most of what he has, Kuznetsov has worked laboriously on his technique in each decathlon event since 1953, now exceeds Johnson in the pole vault and 1,500 meters, compares well with him in the broad jump, high jump and discus. Kuznetsov is proudly grooming his five-year-old son with the same thoroughness : "When we wake...
