Ever since California's big, blond Governor Earl Warren refused the Republican vice presidential nomination at Chicago last year, he has been suspect to many members of his own party. When he made only three speeches (one of them canned) for Tom Dewey in the campaign, suspicions deepened.

No advocate of die-for-the-old-school pep talks, Blaik has only one antidote for incipient overconfidence: he preaches cold facts, chalks out in black & white how an inferior team can whip a mightier one that makes a few mistakes...
