...Ford is likable, unpretentious, undevious. He looks uncomfortable when stridently attacking his opponent. He appears similarly forced and unconvincing when he makes a blatant specific pitch for votes, as he did in the South with his contrived emphasis against gun controls. While he is certainly a bright man, his image as a verbal bumbler nevertheless is not totally unfair; he is also a man who can forget three times in a day which town he is in, as he did recently in Illinois. Far from an inspirational leader, Ford has a limited let's-not-rock-the-boat perspective...

...campaign byroads, written and broadcast more. More special sections have been printed, more special programs produced. It is entirely possible that we know more about the Carter family now than we did about the Kennedys after their three years in the White House, that we have psychoanalyzed both Ford and Carter more than we had Nixon when he walked out of the White House after nearly six years, that we have examined the two reasonably healthy men more closely than we did Dwight Eisenhower and Lyndon Johnson, who had health problems...
