...vote for Rockefeller, and others, reluctantly, for O'Connor. FDR Jr., whose liberal credentials are not as strong as O'Connor's, brings to mind the remark (originally made about William Scranton) that he is not half the man his mother was. Everyone knows that Liberal Party boss Alex Rose picked him as the Party's best chance to keep third place in the state and Line C on the ballot for the next four years. (The Liberal Party always does much better when it does not endorse Democrats than when it does.) The Liberals' diminishing vote has clearly forced...

And he would just as soon do it with his own personal bloc of voters as with Alex Rose's or the West Side Reform Democrats'. So when the Liberals indicated that they would refuse to endorse O'Connor, and city liberals began to grumble and screech, Kennedy calmly ignored them and, by not endorsing anyone, locked up the nomination for O'Connor...

Among signs of continuing inflation last week were auto price increases (see following story) and the consumer price index, which rose in August another four-tenths of a percent to a record level of 113.8, up 3.5% in the past year, with most of the increase due to the higher cost of food. Meanwhile, Wall Street had a kind of relapse. Two weeks ago, after President Johnson announced the suspension of the 7% corporation tax credit for capital investment, the market rallied...
