...Prime Minister from 1966 to 1973, ignored an injured ankle and a nagging cold to make a two-week, 4,000-mile swing through the country, which attracted large crowds. By contrast, Cosgrave, son of a former Irish Free State Prime Minister, carried on what amounted to a noncampaign. Shy and intensely private, Cosgrave avoided pressing voter flesh as much as he could. The Prime Minister approached politicking, teased London's Sunday Times, rather in the way that Irishmen traditionally regard drinking and sex-the thing has to be done but a man should not look...
Rocky's Bid? Nelson Rockefeller's aides say that he is more than just mulling over his chances for the Republican nomination should Ford falter. In the next few months Rocky will try to flash into the public eye, making many "noncampaign" speeches on subjects ranging from federalism to the future of science, as well as traveling abroad as a Bicentennial good-will ambassador.

...Kennedy campaign, the dark and light sides shimmer together in a radical instability. Robert's headlong drive through the 1968 primaries often threatened to turn into something like the riot at Rudolph Valentino's funeral. Even now, in his noncampaign, Ted Kennedy knows what superstar's confusions he can cause. Oregon's Republican Senator Robert Packwood remembers a trip he took with Ted to some hospitals and health centers in Chicago and Cleveland as part of their work for the Senate health subcommittee of which Kennedy is chairman...
