McCarthy himself often irritated the newsmen by junking speeches prepared by Richard Goodwin in favor of his own at the last minute. Reporters who had early deadlines and thus field their stories from the advance text boiled at this habit...
...Senator's strategy. Blair Clark, 50, a polished, detached former newsman, is national campaign chairman and overall strategist. A classmate (Harvard '40) and friend of John F. Kennedy, Clark was head of CBS News (1961-64), then associate publisher of the New York Post (1965-66).

He ran the last 50 yards of his record-setting race barefoot, after losing his shoe...
