...dirty lover, you dirty lover!" right-wing Republicans shouted at Nelson Rockefeller when he tried to address the 1964 G.O.P. Convention.

While New York Senator Jacob Javits delivered the week's lone liberal address, and Reagan delegates broke into noisy disapproval, NBC Anchor Men John Chancellor and David Brinkley contemplated a souvenir towel from the 1968 convention. With few thoughtful exceptions in the anchor booths-ABC's George McGovern on the vice presidency, CBS'S brisk Bill...
