...used to be and that the Democrats need a period of "rest and recuperation." Murray Kempton wrote that the Democrats "deserve to lose." Novelist Norman Mailer concluded that Nixon might not be all that bad (see THE PRESS). Michigan's New Democratic Coalition refused to endorse the party ticket. California's Young Democrats voted not "to even begin to consider" supporting Humphrey unless he agrees to meet six demands, including a pledge of immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces from Viet...
...Wallace's anxiety-and the quick, almost gleeful expressions of shock by Hubert Humphrey and Richard Nixon-it was far from clear, however, that the general would damage the ticket.

But Nixon accepts Agnew's remarks about protests, and the clear warning in his remarks is that any students who disappoint him by disrupting a university deserve to be punished...
Still, it is clear that with a non-Administration man at the head of the Democratic ticket, McGovern would be running far better. "If it weren't for Humphrey's drag on McGovern," said Peter Starvrianos '66, a campaign official, "there's little doubt that the senator would be easily re-elected...
