This campaign of intimidation ran for only a few days before Arizona's Stewart Udall, Democratic leader of the swing group, told Zagri off. "You've got a nerve to go calling my state and telling people I'm voting wrong," he snapped. Zagri brazened it out: ''I'm going to get you in line."

After that humiliating meeting, Socialist popularity fell. Instead of gaining from the Adenauer-Erhard bickering, the Socialist standing in public opinion polls has plummeted from 32% to 26%. When Ollenhauer bowed out last week, the leftists also took...
