Fractured Face. Everyone who knows him says that Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Robert Morgenthau is a chap of ability and good will. But he has what Madison Avenue discreetly calls "a projection problem." Every time he smiles it appears that he has fractured his face. His voice has all the emotion of a stenotypist reading back a transcript. His campaign is chaotic.

An aide finally ushered Morgenthau over to meet the press, but the conversation soon suffered into silence, and the candidate went back to standing by himself and staring into space...
...President is evidently alarmed by the success of the cold war of legislative attrition waged by this large group of willful men, and this is all to the good. He seems to be emerging from his delusion that "technique can be substituted for policy," in Hans Morgenthau's phrase. Concern about the substantive tragedy of his legislative failures has replaced simple pique at losing the game...
