He sprinkles his stump speeches with light sallies. In Columbus, Ga., Agnew contended that "McGovern couldn't carry the South if Rhett Butler were his running mate." Firing at Ted Kennedy, Agnew replied in Idaho to Kennedy's criticism of the Administration's farm policy by terming him "that great son of the soil," and adding: "They learn a good deal about farming in Harvard Yard...
