...Laird seemed to take issue with the tactic of painting him as an extremist. "I don't consider Reagan an extremist," said Laird. "I think he's got greater popularity inside the Republican Party than any other candidate. Reagan is much more popular than Ford in the rank and file, but you can't win the election in that area.

Instead, drawing chiefly on Teamster financial records filed, as required by law, with the Department of Labor, it focuses on the style of life enjoyed by Teamster officials-and finds it far removed from that of the rank and file, who pay $ 120-5300 a year in dues to support it.
