Long odds on A dark horse
Bruce Biossat weighs the 1964 Republican prospects for a dark horse nominee. History shows only three unknowns have won major party nominations this century, with Harding and Davis as compromises and Willkie as a near outsider. Given Senate and governorship dynamics, a GOP dark horse seems unlikely in 1964, though political uncertainty remains.

Divorce Ends Wife Social Security Rights and Survivors
When a marriage ends in divorce the former wife loses rights to Social Security based on her husband’s work. Widows usually cannot withdraw payments unless caring for a child from that marriage. Remarriage or later divorce often stops payments, while the widow’s own work record remains unaffected. Separate checks can be issued for a wife’s share of a combined Social Security payment.
