Ford and Rockefeller Tilt Shapes for a New Majority
The piece argues Gerald Ford pursues orthodox moves like amnesty and Rockefeller’s nomination to appeal to moderates and liberals while avoiding hard lines. Rockefeller’s hard stance on drugs, welfare shifts, and Attica stance complicate his image. The analysis foresees a rising middle-American governing bloc centered around anti-busing, anti-quota, and tempered federalism, with Rockefeller seen as marginal to that future.
