ACKNOWLEDGMENT
This is to express my thanks to all those who so ably
assisted in the preparation of this book, especially Jo
Ludwig, for her monumental efforts at research, and my very
good friend, Wally Wood, who conceived the project, saw
that it never faltered, and whose influence can be felt on
virtually every page. Without them this book would not have
been possible.

The Democrats' Love-in
The first Democratic Convention in New York City in
fifty-two years was as unlike the riotous conflict in Miami
four years earlier as a prayer meeting is different from a
protest march. Gone were the shouted obscenities from the
convention floor; the plastic bags of excrement and razor
blades hurled at "the pig police;" and the frantic gyrations of
the Yippies and other revolutionaries.
The Fun City convention this hot, muggy mid-July was
virtually an oasis of calm and confidence. George
McGovern's suicidal campaign four years ago, on behalf of
"amnesty, abortion, and acid," had vanished into an
Orwellian memory hole. And most of the five-thousand
delegates and alternates to this year's convention preferred it
that way.
The Democratic standard bearer for 1976 had been
acknowledged weeks before the convention. For over a year
the pollsters and pundits had predicted that this convention
would be wide open — a heated battle between several
declared candidates, while such non-candidates as Hubert
Humphrey and Ted Kennedy licked their lips on the
sidelines in anticipation of a stalemate. But a peanut farmer
from rural Georgia surprised them all. James Earl Carter, Jr.,
known to everyone as Jimmy, had stunned the experts by
walking off with all the marbles more than five weeks
earlier.
