Grindle and Aides David Goldberg, 34, Sally Saltonstall, 23, niece of the Massachusetts Senator, and Caroline Williams, 23, work out of a barnlike two-story building in Portland, embellished with huge portraits of Lodge as a combat officer, at the U.N., with Ike, and with a wounded G.I. in Viet Nam.

That left the fellow whom the Portland Journal sniffed at and called "the Mail-Order Bride." According to the Oregonian's poll, Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge still led the field with 40% of the vote. Lodge's Oregon campaign chief, David Goldberg, sent out a broadside promotion mailer to 353,000 Republicans, and within a week got back 22,000 pledge cards. "That's already a better percentage than we had in New Hampshire," he said happily. Thus, barring a last-minute surge on someone's part, it still looked as if Oregon were about...
