...Statehouses were a significant exception. The Republicans not only did not lose any; they gained one. No fewer than 17 Republican Governors are now in command, and among them are some of the party's biggest names: New York's Nelson Rockefeller, Pennsylvania's William Scranton, Michigan's George Romney, Idaho's Robert Smylie, Oregon's Mark Hatfield.

...about as much daring as kicking a dog around, Paar showed familiar film clips of campaigners working themselves silly: Thomas E. Dewey with citizens dressed as cavemen, Indians adopting Coolidge, John F. Kennedy kissing a baby, and a wanly smiling candidate ascending in a balloon bearing the immortal legend: SCRANTON'S ON THE RISE...
