...Muskie campaign needs a skilled director. His staff was unprepared for the candidate's unusually fast start, and scheduling details have sometimes gone awry. Bernhard must also avoid two conflicting dangers that threaten the front runner: overexposure that could bore voters before the primaries, and an overly cautious approach to issues that might feed the contention of critics that Muskie is indecisive...
