Where I Stand on Schweiker and Convention Dynamics
Today's guest columnist weighs in on the 1976 Republican National Convention noting Schweiker as a strong running mate prospect and predicting a shift toward preselected outcomes. He cites Laxalt and Dole as alternatives while exploring the impact of television and political commentary. The piece contrasts convention rituals with a mailed ballot future and references Reaganites pressing foreign policy changes. The column also mentions Cronkite and Nevada figures, then segues to a second, unrelated report on Charles Manson.
