...stand that makes his something of a one-issue candidacy. Knowing that, McGovern is now focusing more on economic issues. He is trying to organize the primary states down to the grass roots;' his campus organizations (more than 300) are the best in the field. But he is anathema to organized labor, has a tendency to shoot from the hip (his prompt labeling of the President's wage-price freeze as "economic madness," for example), and suffers from an image as "the Wally Cox of the campaign...
...social studies and a master's degree in public administration. For all his experience and training, he is appalled by the extent of the corruption. "There has been a total breakdown of discipline," he says. "When I was a cop in New York, narcotics payments were anathema. Oh, you'd hear talk of it in the locker room, but it was scorned."

Just three months ago, dissident parents mounted a major effort to oust him, and were only narrowly defeated...
...Anathema. Besides becoming known as the "different" candidate, Jackson plans to overcome his lack of recognition by winning an important primary, and he has chosen Florida as the site of the test. The Florida primary comes only a week after New Hampshire's, so it has high-and early -visibility. It may also prove an excellent sounding board for the Jackson thesis that the economy, not the war, will be the major issue of the presidential campaign. Florida ranks high in Social Security recipients, and unemployment is substantial at Cape Kennedy. Jackson believes, with good reason, that his advocacy...
