...bunting-Pat and Dick and Julie and David and Tricia and Eddie and Mamie Eisenhower-and perhaps some time out for golf. The only real drama should come on the third day, when the President will end months of speculation by answering the vice-presidential question: Will it be Spiro Agnew again?

Favorite. Only one colorful uncertainty remains: the vice-presidential nomination. Will Spiro Agnew be chosen again? Or will he be dumped at five minutes to twelve, withdrawing as soon as he learns of the President's wishes? And if that should indeed be the case, will John Connally be the man?

...nasty edge. Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott was moved to call McGovern the "triple-A candidate-acid, amnesty and abortion." While Nixon would campaign as a working President, he would have scores of "surrogate candidates" ready to go forth with grittier political messages. One of them might be Spiro Agnew or, if Agnew is dropped from the Republican ticket, former Treasury Secretary John Connally.
