...coast of Maine, Edmund Sixtus Muskie last week spent eight minutes and $35,000 on national television to confirm what everyone already knew-that he was a candidate for his party's nomination for the presidency. A few days later Richard Nixon quietly followed suit. This week Hubert Humphrey was all set to end the non-suspense over his intentions with a speech in Philadelphia, thus formalizing the contest between the two 1968 Democratic running mates. In themselves, the declarations will have small effect on the relative positions of the candidates of either party; the President has a firm...
...victories. That's almost an impossible requirement to meet. In New Hampshire, it's clear that I have to win. Wisconsin is a very important test, as it's always been, and since George McGovern ties his prospects pretty heavily to the results there, and since Hubert Humphrey can't avoid having his prospects pretty heavily tied to the results there, Wisconsin can be a very important primary-in many ways the most significant primary up to that point in the sense that it's likely to be more crucial for more of the major...

The texts are combined with music and dancing to create a series of episodes with a few recurrent themes...
...musicals of its kind when it opened in New York off-Broadway. Then its rhetoric, its "message" might have fit in and been original. But it was followed by some inferior shows that droned on the same theme so that now it cannot help but seem somewhat hackneyed. And Hubert Humphrey was a great Mayor of Minneapolis...
