...Columnist Joseph Kraft seemed to speak for a number of antiwar liberals last week when he wrote: "The basic fact is that the country is faced with an unhappy choice." With Nixon representing the Republican right and McGovern the Democratic left, Kraft observed, there are "no good options. The middle ground of American politics has been torn to tatters." Moreover, he added, McGovern's "performance in the campaign continues to raise questions about his capacity to govern."

Rugoff and California Entrepreneur Max Palevsky (until recently a big McGovern bankroller) into backing a documentary through Cinema...

His office reported that 98% of the initial calls and letters were favorable.* That flood was doubtless enhanced by Columnist Jack Anderson's public apology and retraction of charges he had made that Eagleton had a history of arrests for drunken driving...
