...these not the same men who have constituted the majority of our leadership through recent years? These who cannot even hold a convention without chaos? Perhaps we are closer to anarchy than we suspect. Or is that what Wallace has been trying to tell...
Determined to "shake the foundations a little bit," he mounted a drive to revitalize the stodgy G.O.P. leadership. He helped toss out Charles Hoeven as chairman of the House Republican caucus in 1963 and joined the move to upset Charles Halleck as minority leader in 1965.

...Mayor Daley's Chicago. "The only people who can possibly feel at ease at this convention," wrote the New York Times's Russell Baker, "are those who have been to a hanging." "We gather," NBC's David Brinkley told his network audience, "that the Democratic leadership does not want reported what is happening." CBS's Walter Cronkite concluded one night by complaining: "It makes us want to pack up our cameras and typewriters and go home...
