While all this was going on, the candidates were savoring the lull before the final battle. Humphrey retreated to his house in Waverly, Minn., where he puttered with his Model T Ford and insisted: "I'm the best man to beat Nixon." Muskie vacationed with his family at Kennebunk Beach in Maine, keeping in touch with his staff by telephone. Edward Kennedy watched events from Cape Cod, though there were hints he might come to Miami Beach to help the cause of party unity...
...Smile. Muskie's talk was taped in the family's yellow-shingled house on Kennebunk Beach, and broadcast the following day on CBS during the final ten minutes of a shortened Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. His performance was solid but unspectacular, flintily eloquent and unemotional; not once did he smile. If elected he promised "a new beginning," a phrase provided by his chief speechwriter, Robert Shrum, a former Lindsay aide. In inflection, tone, even phraseology, he evoked the refrain of John Kennedy's 1960 standard campaign speech: "We are going to have to do much better." Nine...
...Rubber Stamp. Increasingly, Humphrey's lanky, wryly humorous running mate, Maine Senator Edmund S. Muskie, appeared to be assuming the role of healer for a fractured party.

Referring to the conduct of Chicago's police, he noted that "a lot of innocent people were hurt." On Viet...
...Protestant and a Republican when, as a clerk in a Waterville dress shop, she first met her future husband in 1946, later converted to his political and religious faiths. They now live in a six-bedroom colonial house in Bethesda, Md., but also maintain a vacation cottage in Kennebunk Beach, Me. The Senator fishes and hunts in the Maine woods, sails off the coast, and is an amateur carpenter. He has also become an enthusiastic golfer in the last four years, although his game sometimes looks like spring plowing. The golf can hardly be easy on his nerves. While usually...
...Unterrified Democrat (EVERYBODY READS THE U.D.) to Maine's Millinocket Journal, which tailors the New York Times's famed 65-year-old slogan (ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT) to ALL THE NEWS THAT FITS WE PRINT. In another Maine weekly, the Kennebunk Star, the mysterious initials THWTB sprouted recently on Page One. Halfheartedly, Publisher Alexander Brook explained that they stand for THE HARD WAY'S THE BEST. In fact, they represent the classic cry of exasperated newsmen everywhere: To Hell with the Bastards...
