Immense Virtue. A problem Carter can forget about is the party platform. The document agreed upon by the 153-member drafting committee was a monument to sweet unity. At 15,000 words it was half the size of the 1972 model. Missing were provocative stands on homosexuals' rights, abortion, school busing and legalization of pot that helped undermine George McGovern four years ago.

It swiftly screened out the least serious Democratic candidates (Shriver, Shapp, Harris, Bentsen). It told two aging warriors (Humphrey, Jackson) to forget about the White House. It gave some national exposure to three interesting Westerners (Brown, Udall, Church). It ended the influence of George Wallace as a national political figure. A very respectable hundred days' work...
