Dismay. If McGovern thought that those firm words would be the end of it, he was badly mistaken. Almost at once, the Furies descended. The telephones and news tickers at McGovern's temporary headquarters in Custer, S. Dak., quickly relayed the anger and dismay of key Democrats round the U.S. McGovern's finance chiefs, already facing a red-ink campaign, winced in despair. Editorialists let go their thunderbolts, crying for Eagleton to quit the ticket. McGovern calmly stayed put in South Dakota. Eagleton, at first shaken, gained strength through a hectic week of campaigning in California and Hawaii...
Peterson, former City Administrator of New Brunswick, N.J., had been picked as the CCA candidate following a lengthy selection procedure in which aspirants were screened by a panel of community leaders.

Bo is an inept, unskeptical idealist, "hurt by animals he didn...
...chairman of a billion-dollar insurance company shouts "Denenberg!" whenever he misses a putt on the golf course because that is the nastiest oath he knows. Other insurance leaders as well as some hospital administrators, doctors, trial lawyers and auto-company executives can barely repress their anger whenever they hear the name. Of all the meddling bureaucrats and thorn-in-the-side consumer advocates who afflict big business, none is so infuriating as Herbert Sidney Denenberg, the insurance commissioner of Pennsylvania...
