The week-long sessions,

Both women agreed to

been done before the band can
be stopepd and shut off.

But he had to muff the name

And so it went.
The big names came from
Washington and the State cap

on the dirty convention floor.
They fought for standards;
they paraded with silly balloons;
they screamed.
They made their public mis-
takes. And they selected two

end of a lovers quarrel within

In fact, Virginia's senior Sem
ator is apt to return home from

organization that bears his
name already in the happy
throes Of reconciliation.
When the convention ended,
support for the Kennedy john

virtually every faction within

the enthusiastic accolades of
Gov. Almond.
What role Senator Byrd will

two presidential campaigns. he
has turned his back on tickets

names that appears on the tick

good friend and the man who

Even if Senator Byrd thinks
the number one man on the
