George Wallace, the demi-demagogue from Alabama, two-stepped through his first Northern tour of the current political season proclaiming: "Right now the only one who satisfies me is me." From Syracuse to Pittsburgh to Cleveland to Terre Haute last week, he called the roll of evils he is against: big government, Communism, crime, the Supreme Court, federal civil rights legislation and "intellectual morons," an apparently large group of citizens that seems to include professors, liberals, editors, beatniks, Vietniks, and anyone else who finds Wallace odious and is either a college graduate or would allow his daughter to marry...
