...astounding knack of attracting publicity and using the press. He consistently loads his public statements to contain the right mixture of documentation and verbal flamboyance (in the McGovern testimony, for instance, hot dogs with a high fat content became "fatfurters-American's deadliest missiles"). In his increasingly frequent speeches and television appearances.

...leaves him open to the charge that he cares more about the illusion of action than about substantive change. Without any cooperation from Hanoi, it is difficult to see what else Nixon can do, short of a precipitate withdrawal from Viet Nam. Among the most frequent suggestions from war critics: give less solid U.S. support to the present Saigon regime, grant more political concessions to the North, perhaps including the acceptance of a coalition regime in South Viet Nam.

...least. While Carson has Ed McMahon as his sidekick on the Tonight Show, and Bishop has Regis Philbin, Griffin uses his longtime TV majordomo, Arthur Treacher, as a kind of Jeeves. Carson prefers to stand out as the star of his own show, throwing out quips and gags, staging frequent offerings from the Mighty Carson Art Players, and frequently upstaging his guests.
