Many Republicans are concerned that Ford and Reagan may be too old the next time around (although Reagan bumper stickers proclaim 69 IS NOT TOO OLD IN '80) and want to avoid another bitter primary contest. Says a former Ford associate: "A large segment of the party feels the future lies with a new personality, that the split was so bad between Reagan and Ford that a new campaign by them wouldn't do anyone any good."

After he has brusquely dismissed the girl out of frustration and shame...

This contention appears dubious and in need of far more statistical confirmation. There is no doubt, however, that one segment of society would continue to work longer if mandatory retirement ages were raised: studies consistently show that those engaged in elite occupations--executives, professors, engineers--choose to work well into their 70s when given the chance. These are the occupations in which minorities and women are most seriously underrepresented. Passage...
