...after all the bloodshed of the primaries, no one will go to Miami Beach with a lock on the nomination. If so, it will be a fascinating week in July. A deadlock would probably eliminate McGovern as too leftward and experimental, even though that might provoke a fourth-party rebellion. Humphrey might also be unacceptable: "too much like 1968 ... a loser's image." That might leave Muskie as a "reconciliation" candidate.

"If we're sold down the drain," Hull said recently, "there wouldn't be civil war, there would be armed rebellion, and it could spread to Britain itself. We're not ready now, but, like our forefathers, it won't be long before we are." He paused, took a pull on his pint of Guinness, and added: "Bloody awful to be talking like this...
