Former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter jumped into the frontrunner's position among Democratic presidential candidates yesterday by winning the Florida primary over Alabama Gov. George Wallace. In the Republican primary, President Ford toppled former California Gov. Ronald Reagan decisively...
...penny ante demon is on the wane. He's been usurped and outmoded. It's always dangerous to write political obituaries, but if Wallace isn't through for good in July, it will only be because one way or another he's linked up with that other charming anachronism, Ronald Reagan...

All this floats around in a melange of parody and self-parody that tries to raise Tots above--and simultaneously recognizes that it can't--collegiate claustrophobia...
