There were other fighting for their party's nomination this year. Lyndon LaRouche, a Democratic contender, hasn't been heard from since the middle of the primary season; and California Gov. Edmund G.

("Pat") Brown or Jerry Brown, the father and son who served immediately before and after him. Even a Carter campaign aide concedes: "You can't go after Reagan for appointing bad judges. That...
