Rockefeller, in fact, had been slightly bruised when he was falsely accused a week earlier of providing campaign funds for dirty tricks in the 1972 election. The five candidates were all declared clean...
...many. Beyond that, Rockefeller had been nationally wounded by a fellow liberal Republican, Mayor Lindsay. During the winter, New York City sanitation workers went out on strike. As mounds of garbage piled up on the streets, the irate mayor demanded that the Governor call out the National Guard to clean up the mess.
