...JAMES BUCKLEY, 53, would have won the convention booby prize had Schweiker not pre-empted it. New York's Republican-Conservative junior Senator permitted an abortive effort to win support for himself as an alternative to Ford or Reagan, thus diminishing his prime asset: an image as a non-politician who happens to be in politics.
