Somehow, readers of the British story and of the few U.S. papers carrying it ignored Lennon's foray into theology; but last week, after the quote was reprinted in the U.S. teen magazine Datebook, all hellfire broke loose.

That task fell last week to Party Boss...
...zeal, is known as "the Baggie king," after one of the products of his plastic-packaging firm. Defeated in the 1962 convention scramble, he has a pretty wife, eight attractive children,* and no reluctance to use them as political assets. Samuels stretched his announcement into a swinging two-day foray by chartered plane to Washington and six New York State cities, freely dispensing food, wine and happy-warrior predictions of victory. Inevitably, reporters christened his effort "the champagne campaign...
