EQUALLY OMINOUS to Kennedy's chances are the options open to George Wallace, who with Shirley Chisholm was probably the most honest, and least buyable, of the 1972 candidates. Wallace makes no effort to hide his distaste for liberals in general and Kennedy in particular. An Agnew-Kennedy choice in '76 would quite conceivably find Wallace pulling hard for the Republicans, given the seriousness of the Kennedy challenge.

Still, the breakup "was a terrible nightmare," admits Liv. "It was so public. I felt everybody was looking at me. I don't know where you can hide your sorrows any more." Scandal magazines and newspapers hounded her, and reporters and photographers followed her every movement. One day, to get away from them, friends took her out the back door of a Copenhagen hotel, leaving her for a minute in an alley while they fetched a cab. "I was standing there in the garbage," she remembers, "and I felt it was really symbolic. Something died in me. I resolved...
