...Congress were considering circulating a petition among Capitol Hill Republicans urging him to become an official candidate. However, there was difficulty in lining up a group broad and deep enough to make such a call meaningful. To have a petition come only from the party's liberal wing and signed principally by Easterners might hurt Rockefeller more than help him. What he needs is a summons from the party's center. Kentucky Senator Thruston Morton listed the progressive qualities that the G.O.P. candidate should have, and the description seemed to fit only Rockefeller. But Morton declined to name...

Though limited in staff size as well as funds, the I.R.C. has indeed played an active role in relatively few of the country's many recent mergers. One of its notable public achievements was its help, including a $42 million loan, in arranging the marriage of Elliott-Automation and English Electric into a single $990 million-a-year computer-making company. The I.R.C. has also worked behind the scenes on even bigger deals...
