Michael Casey, the winner of the 1972 Yale Younger Poets Award, is perhaps the first American poet to deal successfully with the Vietnam War; he is the first to capture with candor, humor, freshness of insight, a careful eye for detail, and an exceptionally attentive ear for language the thoroughly human fabric of a war from which most of us are physically and, too often, emotionally far removed. A former base guard and highway patrolman in Vietnam, Casey witnessed little of the action from which heroic yarns are spun. Rather, he saw in combat and heard expressed the neuroses...
...with his wife. When reporters rushed to Hyannis Port after Sargent Shriver finally became the choice, they found TIME'S Kay Huff had been dispatched there well ahead of the pack. Because of this sustained contact, TIME'S correspondents won from the solicited candidates unique and intimate candor about the personal and practical factors that went into their decisions.

Eagleton emerged as either naive or overambitious and dishonest in not telling McGovern about his past illness.

Ironically, it will be similar to the personality-oriented, almost evangelical appeal for faith in a candidate that was unsuccessful for Edmund Muskie. McGovern said in his acceptance speech that he had already benefited from "a faith that can move mountains...

He is also a rather flamboyantly bad writer, a reporter who demands equal time for his metaphors and his research. He uses unprecedented candor in dealing with his vulnerable subject, going into Kennedy's drinking and domestic troubles along with his congressional achievements. For his part, the Senator cooperated, granting access to his office and his friends-a course of action that in the long run will probably be no more politically damaging than diving into Poucha Pond encased...
