...police and the wreckers until his son arrives to hustle him off in embarrassment. After a few weeks spent living with his son's family, Harry realizes how many household problems he is aggravating and decides to visit his other children in Chicago and California. Writers Josh Greenfield and Paul Mazursky probably had King Lear's peregrinations in mind, but the comparison is so far-fetched that it hardly counts...
...staff of 379 is still smaller by almost 300 than the Times's, but it has a we-try-harder zeal. In one important respect the Post is clearly superior to the New York Times: its nine editorial writers, led by Editor Philip L.

Yet crime control is certainly not a major component of a populist program. Economic issues are, and McGovern certainly does deal with these questions...
