Then luck took a hand-with a nudge from Surtees' teammate, Lorenzo Bandini. Running fourth, unable to pass Hill on the straightaways, the Italian picked the worst turn on the course, a tight hairpin, as a likely spot to make his move. Four times he tried to slip past; four times he failed-coming so close to Hill's B.R.M. that the Briton shook his fist in anger. On the 31st lap he tried again-and this time he slammed into the B.R.M., bounced it clear off the track into a fence. Tail pipes bent, title hopes shattered...
...Government declined to prosecute on the ground that the Negroes were guilty only of an insignificant slip of memory. But Cox persisted, and last fall the Negroes were indicted by a state grand jury. The Government countered by arguing that states cannot prosecute alleged federal perjurers. Cox tried a new tack when a federal grand jury began looking into civil rights violations throughout Mississippi. Somehow that jury was persuaded to see things Cox's way.

Speaking two weeks ago on a television program, Percy's campaign manager said exuberantly that his man was the best candidate for "governor of the United States." Realizing his slip, he smiled knowingly and went on. But tomorrow the smiles will probably be gone and Percy's ambition for the Presidency temporarily quelled. Percy will undoubtedly blame Goldwater for his defeat, but if Kerner's victory is a large as predicted, others will look elsewhere for explanations. And the failure of a moderate Republican to find any issue with which to challenge his opponent will be prominent among them...
...image--may serve to limit his future role in active politics. If he loses, he does not seem the sort of man who will become an active voice for moderate Republicanism: at heart, he is not a crusader. Yet it appears equally unlikely that Ken Keating will slip silently into oblivion. Somewhere, somehow, he will remain in public service...
