• The suspense is killing us, LBJ. Will Hubert Humphrey be allowed to represent our government at the funeral of Queen Louise?
• That sweetheart contract between Governor Rockefeller and Manhattan’s Mayor Wagner is still in force. Rocky has shoved Senator Javits and Congressman Lindsay out of the mayoralty race, thereby greatly enhancing Wagner’s chances for a thumping victory. In the meanwhile Rocky has to give at least the impression of being a Republican, and so he convened the party elders last week to discuss the ticklish business of picking a mayoralty candidate who would do the most for the opposition. A list of fifteen world-famous millionaires, scholars, diplomats, and similar hacks was drawn up and declared to be top secret. Rocky wants to delay the race as much as possible, so the Democrats will help him with his Great Society plans in Albany.
