	Linowitz remembers Muskie
		Muskie, Sen. Hubert Humphrey's vice presidential running mate in 1968, was widely considered a shoo-in for the Democratic Party nomination when he himself ran for the nation's highest office in 1972.
		Muskie was born in Rumford, Maine, the son of an immigrant Polish tailor.
		Muskie pioneered environmental protection laws, as chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Environmental Pollution, and championed a responsible federal budget as chair of the Senate Budget Committee.

	Online NewsHour: Remembering Ed Muskie
		During the New Hampshire primary, Muskie choked with anger and seemed to cry because of a couple of nasty articles in the "Manchester Union Leader." One article proved to be a hoax.
		Ed Muskie went on from there to be elected, to be reelected in a landslide, the first Democrat ever popularly elected from the state of Maine in its history.
		Ed Muskie before 1972, when he ran for the presidency, had never been in a Democratic primary in his life.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Muskie for President?
		Muskie could be the one man able to stay out of the scathing primary battles that proved so problematic for all candidates in 1972.
		He might well also be able to curry favor with party bosses and the myriad of candidates appreciative of Muskie's refusal to compete in the primaries, and capture the nomination at a deadlocked, brokered convention.
		Lincolnesque Muskie ("Trust Muskie" was his slogan in '72) does his best to remind voters of "Honest Abe." Surely, Democrats predict, if the public has a choice in 1976 between a new Lincoln and a used Ford, voters will select the newer model; clearly.

		A native of Rumford, Maine, and member of the Bates class of 1936, Muskie went on to become Maine governor, U.S. senator, U.S. secretary of state and a candidate for the White House.
		Muskie, along with Nicoll and Bates alumni Frank Coffin and John Donovan, belonged to an innovative group that gave new life to a Democratic Party long out of power in Maine.
		"Muskie was so extraordinary, and so very human at the same time, that you couldn't help not only to admire him, but to strive to be more like him in his civic-mindedness," says L'Hommedieu, who points to Muskie's pioneering role in creating U.S. environmental law.

		One will be a Washington-based circle of generalists with whom Muskie will meet, perhaps as often as once a week, to help stimulate his thinking and to keep him up to date on a variety of national concerns.
		Muskie still refuses to count Kennedy out in '72: "The Kennedys have a remarkable resiliency and they have a remarkable hold on the country." Kennedy's troubles may have speeded up Muskie's schedule a bit, but he had been inching in the direction of 1972 since the finale of last year's campaign.
		Muskie will also seek to address a national audience and to reinforce the popular impression of him as a party spokesman and leader who must be considered in all 1972 plans.

	Unit 10 Document of the Week
		Muskie has always taken pride in his ability to deal with hecklers; he has frequently challenged them, calling them up to the stage in front of big crowds and then forcing the poor bastards to debate with him in a blaze of TV lights.
		It was noted, among other things, that he had developed a tendency to roll his eyes wildly during TV interviews, that his thought patterns had become strangely fragmented, and that not even his closest advisors could predict when he might suddenly spiral off into babbling rages, or neocomatose funks.
		It is entirely conceivable -- given the known effects of Ibogaine -- that Muskie's brain was almost paralyzed by hallucinations at the time; that he looked out at that crowd and saw gila monsters instead of people, and that his mind snapped completely when he felt something large and apparently vicious clawing at his legs.
