...case of anti-establishment rebellion, the voters of New York state defeated the Rockefeller-Lindsay Transportation Bond Issue by a half a million votes out of 3.1 million cast. The bond had the support of the entire New York establishment--mayor Lindsay, Governor Rockefeller, the Times, the Post, Senators Buckley and Javits, the Chambers of Commerce, the contractors' association, the construction unions.

Cook's ambivalence toward a $250 million loan guarantee for the aerospace giant was widely shared on Capitol Hill and contributed to considerable confusion in the lines of battle. Such conservative Republicans as Barry Goldwater and James Buckley, who normally support the Nixon Administration on important questions, opposed the bill lest the rules of free enterprise be violated. Such liberal Democrats as Alan Cranston and Hubert Humphrey, who would otherwise oppose a government handout to big business, supported the bill out of solidarity with organized labor. In the absence of clear-cut doctrinal guidelines, the bill-which had narrowly...
