...coming-out party, orchestrated by Dole's folks, made some Dole operatives nervous, which is why by Tuesday there was talk of shortening Kemp's schedule, limiting his interviews, closing events to reporters. His acceptance speech was viewed with alarm even among Kemp insiders, who kept telling their boss to be prepared to keep it to "300 words." He may have won the fight for the party's soul, but he needed to be humble in victory...
...that repels physical intimacy. What happens when an irresistible toucher meets an immovable untouchable? Reserve begins to melt. After Dole's convention speech and the duo's first rally in San Diego on Friday morning, Kemp grabbed Dole's good (left) arm and lifted it high.

Sometimes he would attempt to flail and would jerk his head from side to side, and more sedation would be necessary...
...Reynolds, that he was the kisser--but that the photo was "a journalistic deception," posed and taken on V-E day, May 8, 1945, not V-J day, Aug. 14, 1945, when dress whites would have been the uniform. Now a security guard, Reynolds, 75, says he previously kept quiet out of deference to his recently deceased wife of 51 years, Mary Ann. But Reynolds' belief is wrong. LIFE says Eisenstaedt was not working on V-E day; it also has the same scene at a different angle by another photographer--on V-J day. Shain backs the claim...
