Campaigns on the Cities Dominate the 1968 Race

The piece argues that urban issues define the campaign, focusing on poverty, housing, schooling, and crime, centered on race. It contrasts Humphrey and Nixon on solutions, including federal funding, privatization, a national urban development bank, tax incentives, and targeted programs for Medicare and Social Security.

Presidency demands steady nerves willpower and public trust

The piece argues the presidency suits those with resolve and creative independent thinking, capable of long solitude and heavy decision load. It outlines stresses from constant centrality to risk of assassination, and notes psychiatrists could help manage these pressures for leaders like Truman. It then shifts to political debate noting Wallace proposals and contrasts between Nixon and Humphrey on law enforcement, civil rights funding, and draft policy.
