Shortly after he emerged from the operating room following six hours of surgery at Manhattan's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center last week, Hubert Humphrey asked his wife, "Muriel, how are the polls corning out in Minnesota?" That joshing question by a Senator virtually assured of re-election told as much about his condition as his doctors' optimistic prognosis. Though a cancerous bladder had just been removed, the 65-year-old former Vice President had lost none of his spirit, loquaciousness and will to survive-physically or politically...
...sheen, the amiably unscrupulous characters and the spectral tugs of mysterious forces are all reassembled-and hardly the worse for wear. Maggie Radcliffe, a fortyish American rich beyond telling, is trying to rid herself of an old hanger-on named Hubert Mallin-daine.

Now, in election year 1976, had some maritime union leader or industry informer brought a false charge against Ford...
...issue. In 1960, John F. Kennedy's enumerated positions differed only slightly from Richard Nixon's. However, Kennedy's public image was that of a young, dynamic, progressive leader while Nixon's campaign persona more closely resembled that of an elder statesman. Similarly, in 1968 the "New Nixon" beat Hubert Humphrey, whose tenure as Lyndon Johnson's vice-president had so eroded his liberal credentials that many of his former supporters rejected him as a hypocrite or a fool...
