A tireless, fast-talking campaigner who looks like Hollywood's idea of a fast-rising young politician, the 39-year-old Richards has built up his popularity by handshaking his way eight times from the Mexican border to Oregon. He smoothly tailors his extemporaneous talks to the needs of the occasion, e.g. before a Los Angeles luncheon club, he blasted Republican foreign policy; in a pitch for the Portuguese-American vote, he urged upward revision of McCarran-Walter Act immigration...

...early last winter for a Wisconsin primary campaign tour. He covered the Senator during most of the primaries, stayed with him through the Democratic Convention in Chicago and picked him up again in the initial phase of his vice presidential campaign.
