The debate rages: Did Ted announce, or was it just a preliminary disunannouncement?

General Frank Church, hawk, wants those Russians out of Cuba now. General Church is not to be confused with Senator Frank Church, who lately led the assault on the CIA and in 1977 visited Cuba to worship at the shrine of St. Fidel. General Church is presumably outraged that the Soviets were beefing up their Cuban contingent during Senator Church’s frivolities. Since 1980 is an election year, and since the American voter likes military heroes, it looks as if General Church may replace Senator Church on the Democratic ticket in Idaho.
