State campaign managers for New York Mayor John V. Lindsay, Senator Edmund S. Muskie (D-Me.) and Senator George S. McGovern (D-S.D.) have indicated that their candidates will not consider the Caucus's decision to be binding...
...pretentiousness of the play's "socially relevant" theme. In the second act cliche overwhelms originality. At arbitrary moments the lights suddenly dim to blue and an individual actor or perhaps the entire company whimpers some plaintive song that sounds like a speech Rod McKuen might have written for John Lindsay. A few times the self-indulgence runs so deep I expected the cast to start asking the audience for spare change...
After a day's vigorous campaigning, Lindsay left balmy Miami for snow-laden Wisconsin, where he struck out for Madison and Milwaukee as well as small cities and hamlets like Eau Claire, La Crosse, Cadott (pop. 977). His family, who accompanied him, gave him spirited support. His wife Mary was in a particularly candid mood.

Though the Democratic front runner, Senator Edmund Muskie, believes that the matter should not even be discussed until the war is over, other Democratic contenders, Senator George McGovern and New York's Mayor John Lindsay, have taken positions in direct opposition to Nixon.

With Bobby Kennedy passing and Eugene McCarthy licking his wounds, the United States, in 1968, was forced into a new age of political iconoclasm. No "image-maker" can make much of what serious presidential timber we have left. McGovern, who is the nicest of the bunch, and Lindsay, who is the handsomest, have little fire to offer compared to the heat generated by either the Kennedy or the McCarthy campaign. Shirley Chisholm, whose personality is far more electrifying than any other candidate's, is unlikely to get the kind of money or delegate support needed to be elected president...
