...MUSKIE practices putting with Goofy and braces the wind in a swamp buggy. Scoop Jackson Indian-wrestles a brewery worker. Hubert Humphrey bobs and waves from a merry-go-round. George McGovern presses the flesh in a beauty parlor. John Lindsay savors the pure air of the scuba diver. On a loftier plane, the once and future candidate, Richard Nixon, meets the folks in China-and that momentous event, too, has its political significance.

But his charisma is beginning to stir up excitement. A good horse, as the pols say, even if a dark one. He is every advance man's dream candidate-sensitive to the shifts in place and mood.
