...after his successful mission to Syria to negotiate the release of downed U.S. Airman Robert Goodman, the attention sharply increased. After Glenn slipped in the poll standings, more notice was given to Gary Hart. But there is still scant coverage for Alan Cranston, George McGovern, Ernest Rollings or Reubin Askew. Stories about the "second tier" of candidates, moreover, tend to dismiss them as having no chance...
...surprised and dismayed by your coverage of the Democratic debate on foreign policy. The article outlined the major points of all but one of the candidates, giving about as much attention to the opinions of George McGovern as it did to Reubin Askew, who did not attend. Walter Mondale, being the front runner, was understandably given the most coverage.

McGovern has gone so far as to call for a unilateral halt to nuclear arms production and deployment...
...national Presidential campaign is heating up. Taking their cue from Jesse Jackson and Gary Hart, Reubin Askew and John Glenn team up for an evening on national TV, as do Alan Cranston and George McGovern. Askew is the big loser in this strategy, since a hefty proportion of viewers take him as Glenn's running mate...
