...that his tax returns would not be made public, as she had promised earlier. "The hesitance to release her husband's tax returns," wrote George F. Will in his syndicated column, "may mean he has not paid much in taxes." Indeed that had been the common suspicion. On an ABC news program, This Week with David Brinkley, Ferraro said her husband had relented because "people were jumping to the most outrageous conclusions on a lot of things."

While NBC stuck with the usual total of four floor reporters, the slow news prompted CBS to cut its roster to three, and ABC to two. Even the pared-down contingents were not overly busy: ABC's Lynn Sherr spent nearly half an hour waiting with Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Charles Percy before telling him that the network, which had already passed on him once, had decided to do so again. TV reporters acknowledged having given disproportionate attention to the discontented minority at the convention, and several were accosted by delegates and charged with liberal bias, although...
