While this strategy may pay dividends, it has its hazards. The public may find it hard to buy the idea of a presidential David locked in combat with a congressional Goliath when Congress is controlled by the President's party. There is a limit to how much public relations can accomplish. Notes Ted Van Dyk, a longtime aide to the late Hubert Humphrey: "Image flows from policies and performance. If they aren't good, no imagemaker can repair the situation...
Even in victory the strain and drain exhibited itself. Harvard's answer to Goliath, 6-ft., 6-in., 212-pounder George Aitken of England, (who had missed the Navy race and several practices due to nagging injuries) collapsed at the finish line and had to receive emergency medical treatment.

...might seem a case of Goliath accusing David of dirty tricks: in 1976, Mobil's revenues were $25 billion, whereas Superior's were $441 million. But Superior has long had a brass-knuckle reputation. It was founded by William M. Keck, a flamboyant wildcatter ever on the alert for new oil, fresh profits and the main chance. In this pursuit, President Howard B. Keck, who took over at his father's death in 1964, is also relentless. Superior's success at sniffing out crude deposits has made it a darling of the New York Stock Exchange...
