...such a mess, silence is golden. But it is also troublesome because Carey and Cunningham should be talking about all sorts of arrangements for the Democratic National Convention in New York City next July. So last week the Governor announced that Arthur Krim, the longtime party fund raiser who heads United Artists, would provide the "necessary liaison" for Carey, Cunningham and National Chairman Robert Strauss for the convention and other matters of mutual interest.
