...leadership-hand politely extended-asked for just a little more consideration. After all, the party subsidizes the Y.R. treasury to the tune of around $90,000 a year. Could it not at least have veto power over the choice of the Y.R. executive director whose salary it pays? Any slim hope that the convention might comply was summarily dashed when Barry Goldwater advised against giving in: "Don't let them...

Apart from being lovely to look at, Uggams has a shy sly smile that burgles the theater house. She can cradle...
