King’ splane had landedlate that morning, and thecrowd was already onthe verge ofcon¯ ict with thepolice whenhe and other members ofthe Southern Christian LeadershipConference (SCLC) took their places at thehead of the march. The marchers weredemonstrating their supportfor 1300 striking sanitation workers,many ofwhom wore placards that proclaimed, ªIAm a Man.ºAs the throng advanceddown Beale Street,some of the younger strike support- ersripped theprotest signs off the the wooden sticks that they carried. Theseyoung men,none of whomwere sanitation workers,used the sticks to smash glass storefronts onboth sidesof the street. Looting ledto violent police retaliation. Troopers lobbed tear gas into groups ofprotesters and sprayed mace at demonstratorsunlucky enough tobe in range. High above thefray in City Hall, Mayor HenryLoeb sat in his of®ce, con®dent that thestrike wasillegal, andthat law andorder wouldbe maintained in Memphis.1 This march wasthe latest engagement in a®ght that had raged in Memphissince the daysof slaveryÐ acon¯ict over African-American freedomsand civil rights.

All the weapons in the Soviet arsenal for exercising political control over a brother socialist state were employed at one time or another. The Soviet leadership emerges from the story as fallible in its tactics but certain in its objectives and unrelenting in pursuit of them. Moscow paid a political price in bringing Prague again to heel, but the price was almost certainly less than Moscow was prepared to pay. Analysts from the Office of Strategic Research, the Office of Current Intelligence, and the Central w Reference Service contributed to the study and the text has been coordinated with those components. The Sov/Eur Staff of the Office of National Estimates also reviewed the study and is in general agreement with it. The research analyst in charge was James Ogle. hn Kerry Ki W TOP\ CRET~ SUMMARY The story of Czechoslovakia in 1968 can be told from many perspectives~asit reflects on Soviet Politburo decision making and reaction to crisis, for the significance of.

CARLSON National Hurricane Research Laboratory, Environmental Research Laboratories, NOAA, Miami, Fla. ABSTRACT An analysis of sea-surface temperatures over the tropical Atlantic for the past 5 yr shows a correlation between the number of tropical storms formed between July 10 and September 20 and the ocean temperatures over a wide area centered near 10"N and 35OW. In a recent article by Carlson (1969) it was suggested subsequent tabulations will refer primarily to an area that the frequency of tropical storm formation from box located between 10" and 20"N and between 30" and African disturbances is dependent upon the sea-surface 40"W. temperatures over the tropical Atlantic west of the Table 1 is a version of the sea-temperature data for African Continent. Evidence in support of this included the past five Augusts (1965-1969), showing the area a comparison of the August 1968 sea-surface temperatures average and area maximum values over this box. The over the tropical North Atlantic with those of August years of data are listed from bottom to top in the table, 1966.

(Hubert Horatio), 1911-1978. Title: 1968 Presidential campaign files. Dates: 1949-1969 (bulk 1968). Abstract: Files created by and/or relating to the organization and administration of Humphrey's 1968 campaign for the Presidency of the United States. They are an amalgam of files produced by many individuals and organizations, on the local, state, and national levels. Quantity: 122.0 cu. ft. Location: See Detailed Description section for box locations. HISTORICAL SKETCH Nineteen sixty-eight was not a normal election year. Ordinarily, an incumbent president would have an easy path to his party's nomination for a second term, and much better than even odds at re-election Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey had won the 1964 election in a landslide. By 1968, however, opposition to the war in Vietnam was growing, racial tensions building, the economy stalling, and a desire for real change brewing. While many discontented voters listened to independent candidate George Wallace, and Republican Richard Nixon returned from political exile, most young people looked to the Democratic Party as offering the best chance for significant change in 1968. That meant that Johnson would receive more than token challenges to his re-nomination. Minnesota senator Eugene McCarthy became the first candidate to question the morality and legality of the Vietnam War as well as its military and political objectives. College students flocked to his campaign and canvassed door to door in his behalf in the first Democratic presidential primary on March 12 in New Hampshire.
