Later rather than sooner if the recent primary elections are any indication. Last week, in the wake of the Wisconsin upset, the forces of Marshall McLuhan were in disarray. Edmund Muskie's media consultant, Robert Squier, resigned because he was no longer wanted; the candidate pronounced political TV spots an "abomination" and promised not to use them again in the campaign. After his badly mauled client John Lindsay quit the presidential race, Media Wizard, David Garth, confessed that TV is "highly overrated in importance.

Thus, what I thought was perhaps a hopeful movement in higher education seems to be somewhat in disarray.

The Administration does not anticipate much trouble from California Congressman Paul McCloskey, who is seeking liberal Republican votes in New Hampshire. But Ashbrook could prove to be more of a threat. Though upset over many of the President's policies, the conservative wing of the party...
...first time since Daley moved into city hall almost 17 years ago, his rule has been challenged by a trusted lieutenant, and the case is being aired before a fascinated public. This unheard-of revolt could ultimately wreck Daley's machine, plunge the Illinois Democratic Party into disarray and throw a crucial state to Richard Nixon in the presidential election...
