...President admitted that while "divisions in this country are never going to end," progress toward muting those differences has been "not as much as I would like." He moved to patch up relations with dissident Republican liberals by assuring them that they are "welcome" in the G.O.P.−and that he will not repeat his 1970 purge of such anti-Administration Republicans as New York's Senator Charles Goodell.

Warren Woodward just graduated from a prep school in Connecticut where he led a small ("5 or 6 guys") YAF chapter. The most freak-like of all the delegates (wearing tennis shoes, small round sunglasses, a colored T-shirt, overalls with a "For God and Country" flag patch, and a part in the middle of his longish hair), Warren was the only one to openly question Keene's views on the war by raising an opposing point of view during the question-and-answer period. "I advocated winning for a while, but I've given up. They're Mickey-Mouseing...
