SYNOPSIS: "There are 10,000 campaigns going on at this convention, and Jimmy Carter's is only one of them." - Carter aide Greg Schneiders. The week of July 12, 1976, Jimmy Carter was nominated as the Democratic candidate for President of the United States before a television audience of over 50,000,000 people. That same week, unnoticed by the nation and unremarked upon by the press: Jerry Brown, the governor of California, was set up by Charles Kirbo and Robert Strauss for a public humiliation; Rosalynn Carter tried to send bottles of champagne back to the Americana Hotel kitchen because it was too expensive; her husband ordered his campaign photographer to put away his camera before alcohol touched Carter's lips; Barry Jagoda, a former television producer, stopped an electronic spying plan conceived at the very top of the Carter campaign staff; Annie, a street whore from Dorchester, Mass., spent a night in a hotel room with a convention delegate - and his seventeen-year-old daughter; Larry Morris, an Alabama state senator, maneuvered his way into the line of succession to George Wallace; Richard Celeste, the Lieutenant Governor of Ohio, launched his 1984 presidential campaign - dispatching his key aides to each of the major state delegations; Telly Savalas and Lee Radziwill became Texas delegates; Rep. Bella Abzug's top aides went on a mission to intimidate a vice-presidential candidate; Prof. Archibald Cox, placing the name of Morris Udall in nomination, was intentionally consigned to a "weirdo hour" on the convention program. What they were doing was participating in a particularly singular rite, the Democratic National Convention. As a consequence, they and scores of others become characters in this, the most serious, funniest, most penetrating and revealing book in years about politicians in their natural habitat: Convention. Richard Reeves is the author of A Ford, not a Lincoln. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
