...snag came after Air Force General John Lavelle admitted to the House Armed Services Committee that he ordered the falsification of records of unauthorized bombing missions while under Abrams' command in Viet Nam. Lavelle was demoted to lieutenant general and forced to retire for his cavalier transgressions. In testimony given before the committee, he told Congressmen that he thought Abrams might have known about at least some of the illegal air strikes (TIME, June 26).

THUS, in an interview in the current LIFE granted shortly before his campaign struck its first serious snag, George McGovern peered ahead somewhat apocalyptically at the difficulties he sensed might face him along the road to Miami Beach. Then last week the Democratic Party's Credentials Committee voted to deprive McGovern of 151 of the 271 delegates he had captured in California's winner-take-all primary last month.

Despite the recent Paris accord between French President Georges Pompidou and British Prime Minister Edward Heath about the desirability of Britain's admission, the negotiations hit one final snag. The issue was New Zealand, whose English-descended dairy farmers depend heavily on United Kingdom markets for their economic survival. The New Zealanders urgently wanted guarantees that after the mother country joined the Common Market and passed behind its protectionist agricultural tariffs, their cheese and butter exports would continue to their best customer...
