Slattery, played by Richard Crenna, is a state legislator. The story last week did stir up an at least plausible atmosphere of cameral politics. Slattery turned the chamber into a courtroom, fingering an older senator who had deliberately quashed a bill that jeopardized his personal financial interests. The program...
Hopes for the success of the convention challenge immediately united the delegation and its advisors. But less than a week later the Mississippians had repudiated their Northern friends and the "great victory" the delegation had won. By the end of the convention the leadership of the Freedom Party had polarized, split, and finally came under Moses' firm control. The following is the story of how--and why--that split developed...
