...youth, women and minorities to prove their "Open Door" policy, but they failed to provide for enlargement of those groups four years hence. In doing so, the Republicans seemed to say that in 1976, and for the forseeable future, their party will be one whose trademarks are black limousines, Pucci ties, and 45-foot yachts lined up 85 in a row to "honor" the Party's Presidential candidate...

Then one night he wore a colorful Pucci tie, and Johnny Carson kidded him about it. Next Doc showed up in a zippier suit; more kidding. Soon the routine evolved into the ritual that is now familiar to millions of viewers: an ever more outrageously garbed Doc leading the band through the opening theme, then turning to await the gibes. "That looks like Roddy McDowall's diving-board cover," Carson will say of a white jumpsuit...
