There were caveats, of course -there always are-but the reportorial thrust was plain. Joseph Kraft in November found Muskie "still in commanding position." In December, New York Times Political Correspondent R.W. Apple Jr. wrote that "all the information at hand suggests Muskie will be hard to stop," and was "in a good position to clinch his party's nomination early." The Washington Post's David Broder labeled Muskie "the most popular Democrat who will actually be in the primaries," and added: "That situation, as John Kennedy showed, can be converted into victory...
Until last fall, lean, gray-templed Garner Ted Armstrong was the quintessential religious soft-sell artist. His program called The World Tomorrow was carried on some 400 radio and 99 TV stations. His slick, free monthly called The Plain Truth went to 2,100,000 subscribers. To the millions of Americans who followed him, Garner Ted dispensed glib solutions to such problems as drugs, crime, broken marriages and delinquent children-all implicitly in the name of the Worldwide Church of God. This is a stern, bizarre sect founded in 1934 as the Radio Church of God by Garner...
...this tangle of insecurities give us Michael, then? The answer (natural talent aside) is plain old hard work, an "immersion of the self in the part" carried to an almost frightening extreme.

He is the plain-spoken son of a country preacher who now sports $15 Gucci ties and owns an elegant Japanese-style house in a quiet corner of northwest Washington, D.C. He is a middle-aged prairie populist whose strongest national appeal has been to the young and to the affluent and well-educated citizens of suburbia. He is an outwardly diffident, gentle man-Robert Kennedy once called him the only decent man in the U.S. Senate -whose professorial facade conceals a core of toughness and ambition. He likes movies and chocolate...
...Newspapers in growing numbers are banning display advertising for X-rated films because papers do not want to publicize pornography. Such forerunners as the San Diego Union and Tribune, Houston Post and Boston Herald Traveler have recently been joined by two more major papers: Cleveland's morning Plain Dealer (circ. 409,935) and the Detroit News (650,180), the nation's largest afternoon daily. That made the X blackout effective for 7% of the total U.S. daily circulation and brought forth a protest from Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America. No newspaper, said Valenti...
