He doesn't allow you merely to watch, as though you were sitting, nearly anesthitized, in front of your TV, murmuring jingles. Shaffer's out to drain you, to wipe you out, to leave you limp with exhaustion--yet glowing with an odd exhilaration when the lights go up.

Contends a Republican national committeewoman in New England: "Announcing a future move is not enough to wipe out the mistrust and dismay many women felt after the Republican Convention." In any event, Carter, who has named 41 women to federal judgeships, has not made the same promise.
