That experience, he said, had taught him that "I do not have the overwhelming desire to be President which is essential for the kind of campaign that is required." He had also discovered...

Despite pressure from members of the U.S. delegation in Rome-including Democratic Senators Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern and Richard Clark-Washington maintained its position that the conference is not "an aid-pledging forum" but a meeting to consider policy planning. After a week's silence, President Ford, citing inflation as an obstacle, turned down the delegation's request for an immediate 1 million ton increase in U.S. emergency food aid.

...burning issue, seemed barely to touch voter consciousness this time out. Four former P.O.W.s who ran for office each met with defeat. South Dakota Republican Leo K. Thorsness, a Medal of Honor holder who spent six years in a North Vietnamese P.O.W. camp, seemed to threaten Senator George McGovern at the outset, but faded as the campaign wore on. In California, 32-year-old Republican David Rehmann, six years a P.O.W., lost his bid for Congress to Santa Ana Mayor Jerry Patterson. In Georgia, Republican Quincy Collins, 43, an ex-Air Force colonel and a seven-year P.O.W., battled Democrat...
