It cites Tom Wicker, Connally attacks on McGovern, and the rising wave of new voters, predicting a tight contest barring peace in Vietnam and noting McGovern’s defining proposals.

Ticket Not A Natural For Democrats
In Miami Beach the Democratic ticket features two U S senators both in their 40s from heartland states, with Eagleton chosen to appeal to labor and ethnic groups. The piece argues McGovern aims to broadbase beyond old ethnic lines, while Nixon seeks a broader cross-ethnic coalition. It notes potential swing voters among independents and the possible battle in major industrial states. It also covers O Brien and a Miami yacht incident and a critical jab at GM safety records and a franking abuse example.
