...news media people justify their presence by creating the maximum amount of drama out of a situation which would be rather undramatic without their help. Every day they poll the delegates and report the fluctuations--a few votes up for one candidate here, a few down for another there, will Nixon win on the first ballot...

At a Rockefeller press conference this morning, more than three-quarters of the questions were either about permutations of Presidential and Vice Presidential possibilities or about how far Nixon was ahead in the various delegate polls conducted by the media...

From the Sato camp came other celebrities. Toko Kon, 70, is a Henry Milleresque Buddhist monk who gained fame as a writer of pornographic short stories, now likes to sling outrageous insults at prominent figures on a television talk show. Hirofumi Daimatsu, 47, coached Japan...
