...mother of six, felt she should have been granted the presidency automatically, accused moderates on the nominating committee of having refused her the official endorsement because of her "wholehearted" support of Barry Goldwater in 1964. The title of her tract in support of Goldwater, A Choice Not an Echo, became a motto for Goldwaterites, and now, said one of her followers, "the liberal rats" were out to get her. (Mrs. Schlafly claims that another of her tomes, The Gravediggers, was the major factor in the downfall of Nikita Khrushchev...

He can enrapture a sympathetic audience, as he did in the conservative mountain states recently, by charging that "the Great Society has grown into a tax-guzzling dinosaur"-an echo from the days when he and American Motors' little Rambler were doing battle with Detroit's "gas-guzzling dinosaurs." Despite the Mormon Church's relegation of Negroes to second-class status, Romney, a faithful churchgoer who tithes his salary and abstains from liquor, caffeine and cigarettes, has a spotless...
