...Unruh, anxious to win over the state's fractious liberals so that he can seek the governorship in 1970 (he has even been seen recently on vacation sporting a Nehru jacket and love beads), talked up a switch to Teddy. McGovern and Connecticut Senator Abe Ribicoff persuaded Daley to delay his anticipated endorsement of Humphrey for a few days to see if the draft-Teddy move could get rolling. Daley needed little persuading; Humphrey is his fourth choice, after Lyndon Johnson, then Bobby Kennedy, and finally Teddy Kennedy...

Normally, the other eleven district Reserve Banks soon fall into line with such shifts, but this time there were signs of dissent and delay. The key New York Federal Reserve Bank, which frequently takes a more conservative view of monetary matters than the Washington board, let word leak out that it was miffed at the timing. By week's end, only the Richmond Reserve Bank had followed Minneapolis' lead. Still, few if any bankers...
