...McGovern campaign will thus be directed as much to creating a mood of candor and receptivity to new ideas as to pushing specific proposals. Ironically, it will be similar to the personality-oriented, almost evangelical appeal for faith in a candidate that was unsuccessful for Edmund Muskie. McGovern said in his acceptance speech that he had already benefited from "a faith that can move mountains...

The disgust with Viet Nam may not extend to the broader isolationist mood that McGovern's defense policies and even his acceptance theme, "Come home, America," suggest.

In the same hall on another night, the Herman Herd thundered once again as Woody Herman was reunited with such stars from his 1940s bands as Stan Getz, Flip Phillips and Red Norvo. At Carnegie Hall, the legendary Benny Carter led a group accurately labeled Swing Masters, including Veterans Harry Edison, Buddy Tate...
