Then I stand corrected! Thanks. I think, though, that that was its nickname 45 years ago. (It would have been right around mid March 1972.) But if I'm wrong I'll attribute that to part of the reason why Ed Muskie lost. (I spent a week in Dallas and Fort Worth looking for a phantom Scoop Jackson for President office that the Nixon dirty tricksters were operating. Never found it. Was interviewed by the Watergate Committee but declined to testify.)
