A. Don Meredith and Howard Cosell will be there, too.
Q. That's not so bad.
A. No, it isn't.

A. Oh yes. That's one of the reasons that the President wanted to nip it in the bud. For instance, it's already a known fact that Muskie can win if he can only build up Momentum in the primaries.

A. Right you are. And Betty Friedan and Bella Abzug are still trying to give Shirley Chisholm Mowomentum.
Q. Who else has Momentum?
