...With Rockefeller staffers renting a dozen suites at the Sheraton-Towers Hotel, at a total of $1,000 a day, Rockefeller's preparations for possible combat were massive enough to stir talk that he was contemplating a "blitz" of the type that Wendell Willkie brought off at the Republican Convention in 1940. Rockefeller encouraged the rumors by inviting all 2,662 convention delegates and alternates to a dance this week at the Sheraton-Towers. And he did nothing to suppress the busy draft-Rockefeller movement organized by San Francisco Lawyer William M. Brinton?not even when Brinton...

All the candidates, or their representatives, were on hand, along with such non-Midwesterners as New Jersey's Governor Robert Meyner and Oregon's Wayne Morse. The smiling face of Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson beamed from posters in the hotel corridors, with arrows underneath pointing to the suite where a hospitable supply of Jack Daniel's whiskey flowed.
