Thus Gore wrote the outline of Brock's script. Issue by issue, Brock attacked systematically: gun control, school busing, the Haynsworth-Carswell votes, school prayer, support of the President on Viet Nam. Said Brock of the Senate doves who took credit for giving impetus to Nixon's latest peace proposal: "They disgust me?all of them, including Albert Gore." Ken Rietz, a partner of Harry Treleaven, the political TV consultant, came from Washington to manage Brock's campaign. "We did not underestimate Gore," said Rietz. "We never assumed that he was a dead dove." Aside from an advertising blitz that...
Indiana provided a vivid case study of the season's acidity. Democratic Senator Vance Hartke, a leading dove and unreconstructed liberal, was challenged by yet another conservative chosen by Nixon, Congressman Richard Roudebush. The Republican, a former national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, wrapped himself in the flag almost literally. Roudebush's three claimed achievements in the House were bills prohibiting desecration of the flag, requiring U.S. astronauts to plant only Old Glory on the moon, and making a flag patch part of the uniform of Washington, D.C., police. Not only did Roudebush attack Hartke's stand...

...outspoken dove, Drinan blended new technology and causes with the old techniques of ward politics. Fifty young campaign workers oversaw a house-by-house survey that reached 75% of the Democratic voters in his district that includes liberal Boston suburbs and rural upstate towns. The canvassers fed the householders' views on the issues into computers, then followed up with mailings. When an election-day rainstorm held the vote down, Drinan's staff assembled 250 student volunteers in an hour's time and put them to work driving the computer-identified faithful to the polls...
Vain Reminder. Drinan's well-honed campaign was made possible by the peace movement's decision not to hobble its effectiveness by splitting its votes among several dove candidates, as had happened in 1968. A "citizens' caucus" nominated Drinan, then threw money and volunteers behind him. Drinan, 49, conducted an expensive television campaign and was photographed with such prominent personalities as New York Mayor John Lindsay and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark...
