...headed back to Pennsylvania was fury among the Administration's Nixon loyalists. Actually, said a presidential aide, the long Ike-Harold talk had been about such political generalities as how to develop youthful new candidates. Snapped Labor Secretary Jim Mitchell, New Jersey liberal and possible Nixon 1960 running mate: "It is my conviction that Richard M. Nixon ought to be and will be the next President of the U.S." Said Attorney General Bill Rogers: "Did Stassen ask for time to second the Vice President's nomination?"-which was the way Harold scrambled out of the wreck...

To an Oceanside meeting of wire-service editors last fortnight, Goodie argued bitterly that the Knowland-embraced right-to-work proposition on the upcoming ballot is "a non-Republican issue." Then Knight punched his running mate squarely on the jaw: "Since he injected a non-Republican issue into the campaign, I am under no moral or legal obligation to endorse his candidacy.
