Pdge Six THE MICHIGAN DAILY -Tuesday, April -1, 1972 Pcige Six THE MICHIGAN DAILY ruesday1 Apra 4, 1972 Bage ing thev Mayor John Lindsay walks - j into a room full of sweaty tech- nical college students. He is so alarmingly handsome that, at first, it is difficult to believe that he is really running for President. A m o n g the candi- -~dates, only Lindsay can qualify S* for a" Ms. magazine "sex object" award. In an old age home, he eats some crackers with a group 01 -e} to him and shake his hand. As a result of this skin contact, all of them began to scream, swoon, and yell, causing the Mayor to pull away and retreat down the stairs. - Senator George McGovern is the students' candidate. He is balding, but still youthful look- ing, and he has a nice, honest smile. This is not what you'd call charisma, but it's pretty close. He was a teacher for a while and I suppose, his style could be called "professor seek- ing practical work." He is a meticulous dresser and thinker and gives you the feeling that the panic button wouldn't be pushed if he were President After shaking hands with hun- dreds of middle Americans in an enormous shopping center, Sen- ator McGovern goes into a quiet hotel for lunch and rest. As he walks to the dining room, a few Wisconsin soaking wet little boys climb out of a heated swimming pool and wave at him through the glass door, and then, an entire wedding party swarms up to him. In-laws whip out Instama tics and take pictures. Then Mc- Govern is dragged up two flights of stairs to a seven tiered wed- ding cake, where he is told to pose with the bride and groom. No one is given a piece of the cake, but the senator is asked to give the couple some words of wisdom. He tells them to vote for him. Everyone laughs. Senator Hubert Horatio Hum- phrey looks a, little old to be running for President in this media conscious age. He seems a little better in person than on T.V., but it is difficult to see him up close. He has so many uptight .Secret S e r v i c e m e n around him at all times, that they form. a sort of wall be- tween him and the rest of hu- manity. When the senator gives a speech, his age seems to disap- pear. He has a way of moving around the podium with his whole body thrashing out every word, which makes his style ex- plosive. He gives a very long and trite speech to a group of plumbers and he has them trans- fixed. He is all style. It's simply amazing to watch the fantastic energy of the man who by all normal standards should have given up a long time ago. Senator Edmund Muskie is -very nervous. He comes into this campaign way ahead of the game, and he is quickly losing ground. His staff workers are rude and rushed. His schedule is so grueling it seems almost like. a torture test. He looks stiff and tired and walks like a plaster man. He is colder than the other candidates and he seems to suf- fer from the same over-protec- tion wall of Secret Service that plagues Humphrey. He doesn't seem to fight them very much, though. 4 A young politico "1 Lindsay: Strikingly handsome Humphrey: An explosive style Photographs and Text by Sara Krulwich "Scoop's my man!" / Lindsay snacks with admirers .A -. .. . .. -. .
