...YORK. The overwhelmed Reagan faction was born less out of ideological fervor than an intraparty clash between the state's imposing, egg-bald party chairman, Richard Rosenbaum, 45, and the pugnacious chairman of Brooklyn's G.O.P., George Clark, 35. Clark had seized upon the Reagan candidacy to vent his resentment of Rosenbaum's iron chancellorship and Rockefeller's tight paternal grip. The two leaders had fought first in Kansas over whether Clark could have a Reagan telephone on the floor, then over whether Reagan should be formally invited to address the whole delegation. Rosenbaum vetoed both ideas. Complained Reagan Delegate...

For his executive editor, Kramer brought in Ron Rosenbaum, a contributor to Esquire and New Times who had once been a larynx at The Village Voice in the throaty pre-Felker days.

Says one state chairman: "It would be an absolute disaster for us." Adds New York Republican Chairman Richard Rosenbaum: "Even some of our relatively conservative officeholders are scared about running with Reagan...
...Times's most engaging work is by young writers. Among them: Steve Diamond, 29, whose piece on corruption in federal grain inspection was one of the first journalistic forays into that quagmire; Roger Rapoport, 29, who dissected a surgeon with $10 million in malpractice suits; Ron Rosenbaum, 29, who interviewed Fugitive Abbie Hoffman...
