...afternoon, it is dark and warm and crowded with men. The bar is thick with the sound of gruff voices and the smoke of Top Stone cigars and the odors of stale beer and newsprint from the sports sections of the Bridgeport Post-Telegram, the Boston Globe, the Hartford Courant, the New York Times, the New York Post and the New York Daily News, all of which are strewn about the small room. There is a darkened pool table in the corner. A silent, unblinking pinball machine. A deck of cards scattered across a deserted table. A crude hand-lettered...

Describing how he will cover the convention, he cracked, "I'll be going to a lot of parties and I hope to pick up what I can, except the check."

Since then, another Times poll has put Weicker in the lead by two points or sixteen points, depending on the order the polling questions were put to voters...
...state where Democrats and Independents outnumber Republicans by a factor of 2-to-1, Dodd seems to benefit from a comfortable advantage. A recent poll in the Hartford Courant gives Dodd the lead with 55 per cent of the vote to Buckley's 31 per cent. Sid Gardner, who manages John Anderson's campaign in Connecticut, predicts a decisive win for Dodd. Buckley, Gardner observes, "has had some difficulty shaking his staunch conservative image." With this reputation gone unchallenged, Buckley will have little chance at rallying those pivotal blue-collar Independent votes...
