...Harold Willens, 58, calls himself "a dyed-in-the-wool capitalist." A wealthy Los Angeles realtor, he started out in utter poverty. "McGovern," says Willens, "is a man whose concerns are deeply human and deeply moral. As things are, we are putting our money where our myths are?like the myth of the domino theory?and we napalm little children and contravene the ideals for which this country was founded.

McGovern stayed at the Doral, tracking the ballots, fiddling with the television dial. "Illinois will put us over," said Yancey Martin, McGovern's black director of minorities. It was a small irony that McGovern soared over his required 1,509 with the Illinois delegation that he had rather reluctantly claimed from Richard Daley. In the hall, a brief, almost polite pandemonium broke out and then subsided. McGovern smiled...
