There was, for example, the economy. Whoever heard of a U.S. presidential campaign without the economy as a major issue? This could be the year. Democrat Lyndon Johnson can claim prosperity, and although Republican Barry Goldwater may not think that that prosperity is free-enterprising enough, he can hardly mount a serious attack against...
...disgruntled Democrats, that was part of the trouble. For all the crowds, Atlantic City is a small town (pop. 59,544). Unlike Chicago or Los Angeles, where a political convention takes over the whole downtown area, delegates were deployed in hotels, motels and boardinghouses up and down the boardwalk and as far south as Ocean City, ten miles from Convention Hall. The usual convention tension and sense of self-importance were not only dissipated by decentralization, but also by delegates' horror tales of price gouging nightclubs, bad, rude restaurants, and Charles Addams accommodations.

In Kansas City it was no secret that Board Chairman Roy A. Roberts planned to lead the Star into the Democratic camp -although the Star has not supported a Democrat for President since Grover Cleveland. "No decision has been made," said an executive of the Chicago Daily News, which has regularly endorsed Republican presidential candidates in living memory. "However, there is no question about the paper's position with respect to Goldwater to date. We just...
