The Week

Seven-year-old Adam Gilford of Kansas City, Kansas heads an organization called (redundantly) Children for McGovern. A fortnight ago, Master Gilford told 25,000 frenzied McGovernites that President Nixon’s sole object is the acquisition of power, his rule the tyranny of oppression and folly. Senator McGovern himself was there to applaud the innocent’s seditions, saying that he “made more sense than Nixon and Agnew put together.” Though the evidence is shaky all around, one hopes that Gilford will attain the age of reason before McGovern, and the odds on it are good, very good.

Senator Barry Goldwater campaigned hard for President Nixon, he said, so that the Goldwater name could be erased from the record books. Goldwater said he did not want his grandchildren to have to say “that was my grandfather that got beat worse than any man in history.” On November 8, Barry was in the clear.
