...another campaign. Peretz, whose wife is a Singer heiress, is hesitant to throw the vault wide open "unless Gene shows the determination to make a hard and serious effort." If McCarthy does that, the money is obviously there. HENRY JACKSON. Money has not been one of Scoop Jackson's worries, and it will not be a problem as primary season opens. With Humphrey holding back, Jackson is the most successful Democrat at pulling in big money at fund-raisers; at a $ 1,000-a-couple buffet two weeks ago, he netted close to $200,000. The key figure...

Indeed, there is some fear in his camp that Scoop could poop out long before next summer's nominating convention unless he rapidly becomes better known among voters and matches strides with the front runners in the initial presidential primaries. So Jackson has decided to enter the fray officially next week, and with a big bang...
