The 1968 struggle for the Presidency of the United States-by far the most powerful office in the world-was the most dramatic campaign in American history. McCarthy's entrance into the race and Johnson's exit, the tragically brief flare of Robert Kennedy's effort, the fluctuating fortunes of Rockefeller, Wallace, Reagan, Humphrey, and Nixon, the moments of decision in Miam Beach and in Chicago, the post-convention campaigns, and then the incredibly close election itself-all these occurred in a year of combat between the old and various kinds of new politics, in a time of unprecedented domestic and foreign crisis, with the American political system itself in question and the occupancy of the White House a crucial matter for every living creature on the globe.
