...down, train the campaign managers and press secretaries, put up with the fellow who shows up with the sandwich sign and the Uncle Sam suit, remember which one is Evans and which one is Novak, explain why we tolerate William Loeb's tarnal foolishness in the Manchester Union Leader, and then put on DeKalb Seed Corn caps and decide which of a dozen self-swollen hot-air balloons is least likely to lead the nation to shame and ruin...
