Kohoutek a cosmic flop and a grand letdown
A caustic, witty critique likens Kohoutek to a failed Broadway show and the Edsel of space, mocking hype around the comet. It rails at promises unmet, cites Dewey and Halley as benchmarks, and trims grand forecasts to a humbling, final verdict.

Reagan, strong with anti Nixonism remains hindered by tax and foreign policy gaps, while Rockefeller’s wealth and study-group image risk campaign-spending concerns and alienating the Eastern establishment. Both face Nixon era fallout and debates over defense, energy, and welfare.
