...McGovern and McGovern watchers, it was the best of weeks and the worst of weeks. Nothing is harder to cover than uncertainty-so TIME reporters covered just about everybody. Neil MacNeil bird-dogged McGovern through every between-vote interlude in the Senate lobbies, found him and Hubert Humphrey almost guiltily sneaking off to the "neutral office" of the Secretary of the Senate. MacNeil learned from Connecticut Senator Abraham Ribicoff that McGovern had called one morning at near dawn to ask him to intercede with Ted Kennedy, then had called back an hour later to offer the job to Ribicoff himself...
...dropping of Eagleton because of the uproar over his medical history was virtually unprecedented.* The rebuffs encountered by McGovern as he sought a reassuring replacement only added to the party humiliation. McGovern wooed them and practically begged, but one by one, Edward Kennedy, Abraham Ribicoff, Hubert Humphrey, Reubin Askew and Edmund Muskie all declined for various reasons their party's second highest honor. The selection of Shriver, a personable Kennedy in-law and former head of the Peace Corps and Office of Economic Opportunity (see following page), may turn out to be a good choice, but had the public...
...herself invented it (Genesis 3:7). The late Gypsy Rose Lee listed it as one of her favorite indoor sports. Leslie Uggams and Mrs. Hubert Humphrey do it regularly-and so do nearly 50 million other American women. Nonetheless, home sewing was scarcely worth a fig leaf until the late '60s.

...starting point for the strategy of concentration is the states that Hubert Humphrey won or narrowly lost in 1968, such as California and Pennsylvania. Then there are "second-and third-level states," as Hart describes them, where he believes Nixon is vulnerable and where McGovern could reverse Republican victories of 1968. Among them: Wisconsin and Oregon and possibly a couple of states in the South and in the Rocky Mountains. Hart professes to see hope for McGovern even in South Carolina. "I talked to Governor John West a couple of weeks ago, and he said that if we came...
...question of who owned California's 271 delegates. McGovern had captured all of them in the June 6 primary, according to California's winner-take-all law. But as the party's Credentials Committee met in Washington late last month, a stop-McGovern coalition formed, centered around Hubert Humphrey and organized labor; Edmund Muskie's supporters joined along with George Wallace, Washington's Senator Henry Jackson, Arkansas' Wilbur Mills and even New York's Shirley Chisholm. The "A.B.M. movement," some of them called it?"Anybody But McGovern...
