Little Logic. George McGovern, by contrast, had inevitable difficulty in rousing a constituency. He blitzed New York City on radio and TV interviews, toured slums and allowed: "I regret not having started much earlier." His late candidacy aroused suspicions, especially in the McCarthy camp, that McGovern had actually entered the race to promote himself as a vice-presidential possibility on a Humphrey ticket. For the present, however, Humphrey is leaning more toward Sargent Shriver, New Jersey Governor Richard Hughes, Oklahoma Senator Fred Harris, former North Carolina Governor Terry Sanford, or San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto...
...even some drama. During the three days leading up to the Wednesday-night balloting, the main maneuvering centered on three elements: 1) a handful of uncommitted delegations, of which Maryland, Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania were the most important; 2) the South, which was largely in Nixon's camp already but vulnerable to Reagan; and 3) Nixon's choice of a running mate...

Critics' Cries. Although his camp now claims considerably more than the 1,312 delegate votes that Humphrey will need to win in Chicago, the Vice President's operatives are straining to promote an open convention, lest the critics' outcries of "fix" tarnish his victory. Humphrey's survival in November, they reason, depends upon his emerging from Chicago with the image of a cool, competent and widely popular candidate. Bitter floor fights, coupled with the expected massive demonstrations outside the hall, would hardly foster that impression...
...ignored in the minor-league draft. Then he started to grow, stretching 4 in. and putting on 50 lbs., all of it muscle. In 1961, he swatted .331 at Tampa, and .330 at Macon, Ga., the following year. Still unimpressed, Cincinnati invited Pete to their spring-training camp in 1963 almost as an afterthought. He insinuated himself into an exhibition game, started slamming doubles all over Florida, and won the enmity of the Reds' regulars by taking a starting berth away from veteran Second Baseman Don Blasingame...
