...Brien took control. Among other things, he persuaded Humphrey to release any delegates bound to him by the unit rule, a gesture that cost him only an estimated 40-50 delegate votes but earned him considerable good will. O'Brien is the only major Democratic figure who has direct and cordial relations with all segments of the party-the partisans of Kennedy, Humphrey, Johnson and McCarthy-and one of the few who might persuade leaders of the embittered factions to unite, however uncomfortably, for the November election.
