...Democrat Jerry Brown. Democratic favorites fell like bowling pins. Henry Jackson, the early front runner, did not even survive the first half of the primary season, and even Carter got a scare at the end. Liberals fared worst of all: the Democrats rejected Fred Harris, Mo Udall, Birch Bayh, Sargent Shriver and Milton Shapp...
...does not seem sufficient to hang such a big dream on. Lawyers for the four Beatles had uncommonly long, closed meetings most of last week in Los Angeles, and were adamant about discussing none of the details.

Nelson Rockefeller was vilified for not paying taxes like the rest of us, but not even Fred Harris talked about conditions at Attica. Only Birch Bayh and Sargent Shriver talked straightforwardly and consistently about helping black people, and between them they garnered 12.9 per cent of the vote...
