...days ago New York liberal witnessed a particularly distressing spectacle: Javits attacking Holtzman, who shares many of his positions on the issues, as an extremist saddled with all the "doctrinaire naivete of the left."

...Citizen's Party's Barry Commoner, to take some of the play away from Anderson. But the league turned down the proposal. The President's strategists concede that they have been boxed in by Reagan and Anderson on the debate issue; they fear public wrath if the President ducks a first debate with the other...
