Nigeria war weary as talks urged by leaders and church
Nigeria's six months of civil war weariness pushes both sides toward negotiated peace. Pope Paul VI appeals for peace and dispatches a delegation to West Africa. American civil rights leaders propose a Nigeria visit, while Liberia's President Tubman suggests Azikiwe lead talks. Gowon signals willingness to negotiate, calling for reconciliation and end to the conflict. Biafran emissaries portray secession as a stain in a tense peace environment.

McCarthy Seeks Kennedy Backing In Primary Push
Senator Eugene McCarthy says a Kennedy endorsement would greatly aid his challenge to President Johnson in key primaries. He notes no Kennedy has committed, despite shared criticism of the Vietnam policy, and he aims to mobilize support in New Hampshire and Massachusetts as he shifts focus to the March 2 New Hampshire race. McCarthy plans campaign trips while acknowledging tight funds but expecting sufficient money to present his issues in the start of the primary season.
