...long as they did not accept any federal funds. As a result, aides to relatively poor Fred Harris and Morris Udall complained that the court decision hypothetically gave an unfair advantage to candidates with money of their own. Among the better-off are Milton Shapp, Lloyd Bentsen and Sargent Shriver, who is married to a Kennedy. Said Udall's campaign manager, Brother Stewart Udall: "Is it fair? You put Fred Harris and Nelson Rockefeller in the same ring and say, 'Go at it, boys, and have a fair fight...
...Mississippi caucuses at the end of January. Wallace won 45% of the precinct vote and will probably pick up much of the 27% uncommitted bloc. His nearest rival was former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter, who received only 14%-less than expected by his backers.

Another respondent, Lloyd Bentsen, favored lessening of the criminal penalties for first offenders...
...Harris have knocked each other out chasing the same fly ball while Bayh and Jackson seem to think balls hit in between them possess cooties. On potential double play balls in the infield, Udall often throws to third and the one time he did get it to second, Shriver, in a fit of pique, threw it back. Finally, pitcher Wallace's predilection for putting members of the opposite team on base could hurt in post-season play...
