...pressures will mount on him to withdraw much sooner for the sake of party unity. Said a White House assistant, indelicately: "Even Rommel gave up when his tanks ran out of gas." For fear of antagonizing conservatives whose enthusiasm Ford will need in November, the President's aides have not directly assailed Reagan as a spoiler. Instead, they have encouraged Ford loyalists to speak out. Rogers Morton, who was tapped to succeed Bo Callaway as campaign manager (see story page 19), has asked Texas Senator John Tower, House Minority Leader John Rhodes and Republican Whip Robert Michel to "open...
...Daley man. A onetime loyal lieutenant of Daley's who broke with him seven years ago over police misconduct in the black community and in 1975 supported former Alderman William Singer in his unsuccessful attempt to oust The Boss from the mayor's office, Metcalfe ran solely on the issue, "the liberation of the people from the Daley plantation."

...least some were able to see beyond the immediate, and George McGovern ran on a commitment to stop an American outrage taking place against yellow and brown-skinned nonvoters 6000 miles away. But that effort failed 49-1, and four years of inflation, unemployment, Watergate and otherwise uninspired leadership have made us a less generous nation. It was not the fault of the candidates if even the people of that one lonely state had turned inward and seemed to be voting solely for themselves. Whether it was the anti-busing Wallaceites who carried Boston, the pro-Israel Jacksonites who delivered...
