In a tense session with Wilson, Bren and Fuller, Gorton recommended bugging out of Iowa for lack of organization, manpower and money. Instead the campaign should concentrate on New York, he said, where TV ads can achieve far more bang for the buck. Fuller argued vehemently against the idea, but Wilson backed Gorton.

At least one major magazine, Seventeen, refused to carry the campaign. Donald Wildmon's American Family Association wrote to 50 retailers, threatening a boycott of their stores. Pickets were expected at the opening of Klein's flagship emporium in Manhattan on Sept. 7.
