What might trouble the Republican serenity? First, there is a credibility gap, an atmosphere of taint that reminds some observers of the last years of the Truman Administration. The cloud of ITT is in the air. So is the Republican refusal to disclose the names of those who poured $10 million, quite legally, into the G.O.P. war chest. The bugging raid on the Democratic National Committee headquarters fosters a nagging suspicion...
...party has already weathered one unforeseen development this year: under the shadow of the ITT affair and amid troubles with local convention facilities, the Republicans switched the convention site from San Diego, the city the President had personally picked. Everything else is well in hand at this point, however, and Richard Nixon, having brushed off the challenges of Liberal Paul (Pete) McCloskey Jr. and Conservative John Ashbrook, will come to Florida in firm control of a united party, assured that no major surprises await...

By contrast, ITT's earnings would have been down only from $337 million to $328 million, and General Motors would have lost only $2 million of its $1.9 billion net. Yet even the companies that would not suffer much immediately would feel the impact over the long pull. Reason: the companies that...
