The Week

It now turns out that President Dwight David Eisenhower had a secret taping system in the Oval Office. On a transcript of one tape, Ike is denouncing . . . Nixon, who is herewith awarded the Gold Tape Recorder for 1979.

After whatever it was that happened in Florida, a great deal of pooh-poohing went on, but something did indeed happen, and Republicans should be enjoying it. Both Carter and Kennedy backers turned the Florida caucus voting into a political event. As it turned out, the Carterites beat the Kennedyites 2 to 1. Each candidate, in effect, wounded the other. Carter showed that Kennedy is vincible. Kennedy showed that Carter no longer owns the South. Onward, boys, and downward.
