Connally, who had hoped to come in third, was embarrassed by his fourth-place finish. He skimped on organization to concentrate on a $125,000 media blitz. But his Texas-style swagger was not really suited to down-home Iowa. Some low blows in his advertising did not help him in a state where the politics are especially clean. (Example: he ran a TV spot that implied that Governor Ray had endorsed him. When Ray objected, Connally had to withdraw...
Carter wants registration to bolster the image of a new American swagger, an attitude designed to create the illusion that this nation must respond militarily to every Soviet action. We do need to answer their expansion, but a draft is an inappropriate reaction. The draft is a response for the sake of making a response, not because it is intelligent.

A more permanent salvation is offered by the FBI and an ambitious new special prosecutor, Hamilton Wainwright IV, who has vowed to rip out the "cancer" of organized crime. They want Richie to sing...
...with the spoilsport steward Malvolio. Bob Dishy's portrayal last summer was by far the worst Malvolio I have ever seen, professional or amateur. This time we have Kenneth Haigh, who knows what he's doing. He can wither with a glance, and inflate his importance with a long swagger-stick. And he is wise enough not to protract the Letter Scene beyond endurance. Fine as Haigh is though he has not found as many nucances in the character as Philip Kerr did on this came stage...
