Before taking his timeout, McGovern campaigned more spontaneously than Nixon and occasionally suffered the consequences. In Brooklyn, he managed a pained chuckle when Democratic County Leader Meade Esposito promised to "support the Democratic ticket to the bitter end." Addressing labor leaders in Tacoma, Wash., McGovern called the area the "economic sore thumb" of the Nixon Administration. He promised a job for everyone, "though I can't spell this out line by line."

Chastened by defeat, the N.H.L. stars roared back two nights later in Toronto to whip the Russians 4-1.

They are doing so for their own reasons, which frequently have a lot to do with party infighting in their own areas. But the very fact that they have gone with the Prairie Senator contradicts the thesis of the establishment columnists...
