...Overhaul. Last week, as they took command of the barnacled party machinery, Humphrey and O'Brien moved quickly to discard some of the Pedernales Mafia. John Criswell, an L.B.J. subaltern who antagonized many delegates with the stringent security rules he imposed as manager of the Chicago convention, resigned as treasurer of the National Committee, along with 16 other members.

And it is the group's judgment that Piet was used by Foxy in order to discard her cold-fish husband. But to see him as a scapegoat is to accept him as will less--and so the author seems to have viewed...
