...That's absurd," said Ted Johnson, an NMC spokesman. "We haven't heard of any plans for violence and we have better contacts on campuses than the FBI." He accused the department of waging a "scare campaign" to discourage protestors from coming to Washington...
Shrewd Judgment. Couve's distaste for campaigning helped Rocard. What aided him even more was the TV exposure he gained last May as a minor presidential candidate. Though he won only 3.6% of the vote and was eliminated in the first round, Rocard came across as an incisive, articulate and iconoclastic politician.

The battle of the exes ranges from shallow youth (Sally Kirkland) to callow middle age (Viveca Lindfors), and includes, in the interim: a toothsome baby sitter; a campaign worker for Eugene McCarthy (is nothing sacred?); a scholarly type who mumbles "I read your paper . . . It's very impressive" as she's being undressed; and a transvestite, presumably added to assure the widest possible audience appeal. Finally Psychiatrist Torn comes apart from his pregnant wife...
