This may be looking too far ahead, but there now seems a possibility of President Ford being shot at the Lincoln Center.

Thinking thoughts of ’76, the men from Gallup asked Republicans to name their choice for President. Ronald Reagan finished first with 29 per cent of those polled. Second, as always, was Nelson Rockefeller, ten points behind. Third and fourth in the minds and hearts of Republicans were John Connally and Charles Percy. The closest race was for fifth place, where Senators Howard Baker and James Buckley finished in a dead heat. The poll was taken a few days after Mr. Agnew resigned, so there wasn’t one percentage point for Spiro in ’76.
