His identification with the antiwar cause will doubtless help him in this week's primaries in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine pledged to stop the bombing of the North and withdraw all troops from Indochina, in return for the release of U.S. P.O.W.s, "within 60 days of my inauguration."

Later rather than sooner if the recent primary elections are any indication. Last week, in the wake of the Wisconsin upset, the forces of Marshall McLuhan were in disarray. Edmund Muskie's media consultant, Robert Squier, resigned because he was no longer wanted; the candidate pronounced political TV spots an "abomination" and promised not to use them again in the campaign.
