Humphrey Faces Difficult Path To Truman Upset Legacy
In a comparison of 1968 to 1948, Humphrey faces changed voting patterns and strong Nixon leads.

Without Truman's assets, Humphrey hinges on local coattails and possible peace moves to bridge deep national divisions.

Nixon Camp Says TV Debate Question Closed
The Associated Press reports during the campaign Humphrey pledges steps to reduce the balance of terror with the Soviet Union and world arms spending. Nixon calls Humphrey too talkative for delicate diplomacy and dismisses Wallace’s debate idea as irrelevant. Wallace asks for 30 minutes TV time after a Nixon Humphrey debate, but Nixon aides say the proposal changes nothing. Frank Stanton invites both candidates to CBS Face the Nation to align with Wallace's plan.
