...David S. Broder, the Washington Post's veteran political writer, won't be drawn into it until after Labor Day, convinced that "the process has got out of hand in length and cost." He thinks the press itself may have "aided and abetted" this overemphasis, because "it's easier to cover politics than to write about government." Theodore H. White, who first trooped around New Hampshire with Estes Kefauver back in 1956, vows to make 1980 his last book-length inquiry into President making. "Why, New Hampshire's only 26,000 votes!"
