...Reagan and 182 sprinkled elsewhere. It was even less of a race than it seemed. Nixon had reserve votes in several favorite-son delegations that he could have called upon if necessary. Minnesota Congressman Ancher Nelsen, one of the nine whips working the floor for Nixon, had only one complaint: "We got rather hungry. Getting a hot dog?that was the biggest crisis we had." Floor Manager Rogers Morton told reporters: "The only time I got worried was when my shirttail came out and I couldn't get it back...

But Probation Officer David Cook, director of the program, points out that it is only during the final week or two that real unity develops. "The raft is perfect for group therapy," he says. "You can control almost all the pressures on the boys." After the only incident of trouble on the latest journey-some swearing in a Y.M.C.A.-the guilty boy was made to feel so unhappy about letting his buddies down that he punished himself by standing alone for an hour in the corner...
