...Vice President's favorites for a partner on the ticket are Oklahoma's Senator Fred Harris, Maine's Senator Edmund Muskie, and San Francisco's Mayor Joseph Alioto, a Catholic liberal of whom Humphrey thinks highly. A better known possibility would be Sargent Shriver, who might reconcile some of the Kennedy partisans...
...House of Representatives may thwart the Senate plan. Kentucky Congressman Carl Perkins says that OEO's future will be determined "by its good works between now and next year." Fearing the worst, OEO personnel are leaving the agency at record rates. Sargent Shriver's successor, Bertrand M.

There are occasional flickers of intentional humor, as when a cyclist looks inside a shack and wonders, "Who did your decorating, Sargent Shriver?" The best laughs are caused by the scenes of violence, when the Indians decide they would rather be Redskins than dead-skins and beat the living Hell's Angels out of the motorcycle gang. It all ends as it began, in chaos, proving itself ideal kapok to fill out the lower end of double bills in drive...
