...dearth of traveling companions. In Maryland, Governor Spiro Agnew announced that he would organize a draft-Rockefeller movement "in response to the ground swell of public opinion that I have seen developing." Sixty-six prominent Republicans in Oregon set up a similar group, vowing they would conduct a Rockefeller write-in campaign for the Oregon primary should he refuse to allow his name on the ballot.

Senator McCarthy bared his ribs with reluctance; he had been planning to go to Viet Nam instead. But his slow-starting challenge* to Johnson needed the thrust of a New Hampshire confrontation, hazardous though it is. Governor John King and Senator Thomas McIntyre are heading a write-in campaign for Johnson.

Goldberg's workers ceaselessly prowled the state for weeks in an effort to make contacts for Romney, and now, says Goldberg, "there's more organization for Romney than most people have two months before the primary." He may need it. Nixon for President Committee Chairman Dr. Gaylord Parkinson...
