Worth. The old stars-Gloria Steinem, Shirley Chisholm, Bella Abzug and Betty Friedan-willingly turned the podium over to some fresher faces. Among them: Philadelphia Councilwoman Dr. Ethel Allen ("I'm what's known as Philadelphia's fat Shirley Chisholm"), Colorado's new Democratic U.S. Representative, Pat Schroeder, 32, the mother of two preschoolers, and Baltimore Councilwoman Barbara Mikulski, who made a strong and witty plea that the convention not forget the blue-collar woman...
...Shirley Chisholm underscored the delicacy of that difficult task. "Some people wrongly see the Caucus participants as being 'antimale, anti-children and anti-family,' " she cautioned. "Very frankly, there have been some excesses in movement thinking. Children are more than a pile of dirt and diapers; families have provided love.

Wallace makes no effort to hide his distaste for liberals in general and Kennedy in particular. An Agnew-Kennedy choice in '76 would quite conceivably find Wallace pulling hard for the Republicans, given the seriousness of the Kennedy challenge. Any flat-out condemnation of Kennedy would send catastrophic tremors through Democratic ranks...
