...rule of party "czar" John Bailey in what was--until McCarthy and the war--a very strong and single-minded party which brooked little in-fighting. With a Nixon landslide in 1968 and scandle-ridden hawkish Senator Dodd up for re-election in 1970, the liberals with Senator Ribicoff's leadership may be able to pull off a coup before the 1972 elections...
...repression thereof. The involvement of press and television personnel is even more stupid than that of the public. The veriest Fourth Estate tyro should know that a police officer faced with an unruly mob is too busy to check his press card. The sanctimoniousness of McCarthy and Ribicoff, particularly, was too obvious. The police force in Chicago was the only thing that made it possible for McCarthy's heart to bleed in comparative privacy and for Ribicoff to speak of "police brutality" and "Gestapo tactics" without violent interruption.

McGovern and Connecticut Senator Abe Ribicoff persuaded Daley to delay his anticipated endorsement of Humphrey for a few days to see if the draft-Teddy move could get rolling.

In Ohio, where Johnson's strength had seemed impervious to McCarthy, there were some defections in Kennedy's favor. Senator Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut, previously a Johnson supporter, announced himself a free agent. Maine Governor Kenneth Curtis publicly recalled his admiration for Kennedy, while Vermont Governor Philip Hoff came out for him officially, as did Massachusetts Democratic Chairman Lester Hyman. In Oregon, Representative Edith Green became a leader of Kennedy's campaign group...
