American independent Campaign Rally
George Wallace said in a rally that the only four letter words that hippies did not know were w-o-r-k and s-o-a-p. He accused Humphrey and Reagan of wanting to desegregate the South since becoming Alabama: S Governor In THE 50"S Wallace has been vocal in his support of segregation. during his governor inaugural he said, " in the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever."

George Wallace's running mate Enra Taft Benson was kicked out of the Mormon church for running with Wallace on the American Independent ticket.
That is the cost of fame Benson told a friend. I know Wallace will never win but for good or ill I will forever be associated with the Wallace campaign.

Elsewhere in London

John Lennon began working on solo album in Ernest. working with him is Dave Davis of the kinks. Ringo star. Chris Deja.
Paul McCartney also began work on his first solo album he would play all the music on first musical solo adventure.
George Harrison met a new group bad finger Harrison would jam with them Harrison also jammed on stones album, beggars banquet filling in with he drug addicted Brian Jones.
Mick Jagger told Harrison if he left the Beatles he would be more then welcomed to join the Rolling stones. Harrison was flattered but working under Mick and Keith would not be much different then Paul and john.



Vietnam. Ronald Reagan. Ted Kennedy:
the war in south east Asia had engulfed President Johnson"s presidency and was the reason he did not seek reelection. President Lyndon Baines wanted Rockefeller as his successor but the choice was not his to make.
Rockefeller however was Humphreys running mate and President Johnson wanted Humphrey to win so Rockefeller could at least have the number 2 spot. when vice president Humphrey broke from the administration and admitted Vietnam was a big mistake there was nothing President Johnson could do ,Humphrey rose slightly in the polls as of August 1968 it was Reagan 49% to Humphrey 40%Wallace 11%.Unlike vice president Humphrey Governor Reagan was considered charismatic to many voters and considered a political outsider compared to vice president Humphrey. Many Democrats were considering going over to the Republican camp to vote for the California Governor.
Former vice president Nixon had already endorsed governor Reagan. senator Strom Thurmond assured Reagan he would win the south very easily.
Senator Kennedy since being rescued form the cult displayed bizarre behavior causing many to fear he had lost his mind. The Massachusetts senator shaved his head and constantly rambled. "This can't be happening. It couldn't have been that bad." I can move beyond this experience and choose new directions in my life" Many thought he would not be mentally able to campaign for reelection senator 2 years from now.
Save Star Trek
Third season of star trek producers were desperate to get the show back on its proper footing in the ratings. The script
for spock"s brain was scraped instead "Joanna was first episode of third season of star trek. Celeste Yarnall who played in a earlier episode of star trek would play doctor McCoy's doctor Joanna McCoy.

Hollywood Wedding !

Roddy McDowell and Marlon Brando became close friends after filming Planet of apes together. so it should come as no surprise when McDowell asked Brando to be his best man when he married Halley Miles.

There were plans for a sequel to planet of apes but its star Charton Heston had already announced a senate run-in 1970 and Brando would only reprise his role of Zauis as a cameo. Roddy McDowell however told producers he could do a t.v series of apes after he is done directing tam lin. Rod Serling by this time had already wrote a script for a proposed planet of apes t.v show.


Gilligan lost in syndication!!

In 1967 Gunsmoke was canceled by c.b.s such a move orchestrated by c.b.s proved so unpopular Senator Robert Byrd even criticized the network's decision on the Senate floor. Gun smoke would stay but Gilligan's Island would go .However Gilligan had a unique cult following and producers began filming first run episode s of fourth and fifth season of Gilligan in syndication.
