...fine President." When asked if there was any other candidate he liked, he thought a moment, then replied, "Vance Hartke." Though he was badly shaken by Chappaquiddick, Daley would still probably prefer Ted Kennedy, but the mayor has given up on him for 1972. His last choice would be Hubert Humphrey, who infuriated him by criticizing the way he handled the rioting in Chicago during the 1968 convention and then by complaining that he did not work hard enough for the national ticket. That leaves Daley with Muskie...
...sever diplomatic relations with all nations that did so-a policy that will surely prove untenable as more countries follow suit. Britain, which has already promised aid to Bangladesh through the U.N., is expected to provide recognition in a few weeks. Despite the urgings of Senators Edward Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey that the U.S. recognize Bangladesh, the White House last week said that it was not considering the move at present.

Of course, Hubert has a great many friends across the country built up over a quarter-century of national activity, especially in labor unions and the black community. I regard him as a friend, and I've been committed to him in the past. But I don't know how he will stand up in the polls and in the face of this persistent feeling that his time is past...
...state, dominated by urban centers like Miami, has favored liberal candidates, while the less populous northern half has long been a stronghold of conservatism. During the 1968 presidential campaign, Wallace carried the three northernmost congressional districts in the state; overall, he ran barely 50,000 votes behind Hubert Humphrey. Notes Senator Scoop Jackson: "Northern Florida is Southern and southern Florida is Northern...
