...against the people who sat in at the Pentagon is to be against morality and equality and justice--things the cool-liberal has always supported. But worse, to be against the people who sat in at the Pentagon is to be for Lyndon Johnson, at best, and maybe Ronald Reagan at worst...
There was robust George Romney, up with the dawn and jogging about the sun deck in his sneakers, later chiding asthenic reporters: "I was up while you fellows were still asleep." At safety drill, Romney and Ronald Reagan found themselves in the same lifeboat. Their fellow potential survivors showed up in the prescribed orange life jackets, but the putative rivals, jacketless, were plainly determined to either sink or swim on the strength of their own buoyancy...
Nelson Rockefeller took Bonamine pills to ward off seasickness, but was otherwise chipper. He lectured on the political dividends of promoting culture, huddled a number of times with Romney, and insisted: "I don't want to be President."

California's Governor Ronald Reagan and New York City's Mayor John Lindsay seem to be getting, and turning down, more invitations than any other Republicans, although former Presidential Candidate Barry Goldwater and Gadfly William F. Buckley Jr. are still much in demand. With the possible exception of Senators Wayne Morse and J. William Fulbright-both harsh critics of U.S. policy in Viet Nam-no Democrats are hot on the campus circuit...
