...York Times politely reveals that "like hundreds of other young men in the country," Steven Ford, the President's "handsome, sandy-haired 18-year-old" violated the law by registering late for the draft. He waited until his father was president. "OOPS--HE FORGOT" was the Herald-American caption...
That collective cool was no accident. In an unprecedented display of cooperation, 20 local news executives-including general managers of the city's radio and TV stations and publishers of its two major dailies, the Globe and the Herald-American-issued a statement last month urging "all Bostonians to help make school opening this September safe and quiet."

The Miami Herald said of his Inaugural Address: "It bespoke courage, humility, openhandedness, conscientiousness, peace and love of fellow man. Its theme was 'Truth is the glue that holds government together.' It was truly presidential." In the Chicago Daily News, Peter Lisagor observed: "Mr. Ford has a great deal going for him. An era of good will has been ushered in almost overnight, and the relief is enormous. It is more than the usual political honeymoon; it is the hope that follows catharsis, and the former Michigan football...
