Early Arrivals Chuck Cornell and Don Van Dyke head out across the ice in Chuck's old Datsun pickup. They drive for about five miles, seeking a quiet spot where the fishing won't be interrupted by the noise and clatter of passing snowmobiles. As usual they have chains on their tires. As usual the pickup's doors are flung wide open-so they can bail out at the first sign of the ice breaking up. Last year Don slipped on the ice and fractured his skull, but it does not bother him.

But first he had to endure a long, windy keynote speech by Michigan Congressman Guy Vander Jagt, who recited Henry Van Dyke's interminable America for Me* and quoted Thomas Jefferson and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Finally, the speeches were over, and Reagan's name was put in nomination by his old friend Laxalt. The nomination was seconded by several people, and then the states began casting their ballots.
