...nomination to someone else. Lately there has been renewed speculation among Democrats that Ted Kennedy, despite his denials, would accept a draft by the convention. TIME learned that the story started with supporters of Hubert Humphrey in an attempt to keep the anybody-but-Carter movement alive for the Minnesotan's benefit...
...writing the political obituary of any politician who still walks the earth. After his loss to Richard Nixon in the presidential election of 1968, and then his defeat by George McGovern in the primaries of 1972, he seemed extinct.

Since then he's made a number of films, including a feature called Negatives when he was a freshman here. But it's strange. He's no cinema pedant--far from it, and he doesn't major in Visual Studies.
