Even Ben Bradlee at the Post, in his inimitable way, dickered over it with Frank Mankiewicz on the phone. “Frank, look,” said Bradlee, feet ever up on his desk and in well-chosen earshot of his staff, “I don’t expect George to go wave his dick around on this one until he gets tired, but it’d be nice if he at least flashed somebody.”

The administration played a deeper role as well. Abroad, in the long game of Cold War arms control, both London and Paris noted that their role in that process could be more fulsome if the United States proffered some economic quid for nuclear quo. A part of that was the vast and deeply costly Anglo-French industrial program for the Concorde supersonic airliner. A proposed noise ordnance in New York, meant to be a hub of Concorde flight for several international carriers, threatened to strangle the beak-nosed high flyer in its crib. With some hesitation over environmental concerns — and an extra budget line at Interior for climatic studies of supersonic transport exhaust — the president decided where the greater good lay. Anyone who assumed McGovern was just some Midwestern milquetoast, said Gene Pokorny later, hadn’t sat in that back room in Gracie Mansion where the president introduced New York City councilors to a muscular brand of federalism. The ordinance passed away in its sleep, the British and French saved some of their order book as legacy carriers looked for any glitzy edge over cut-rate startups, and in a rare case George McGovern hit two birds with the same stone.
Also is it just me or does Phil Hart look like George H.W. Bush but with a beard in that picture? lol
Ron Dellums.
I'm gonna boycott McGoverning for an hour if this doesn't happen
I also like how this administration is breaking the shameful streak of clean-shaven executives in this country. Let’s have more of that going forward!
Oh my God this is some good stuff.
I'm eagerly awaiting President Bobby Rush.
I think we've found next year's Turtledove winner for best quote already.
That's something I'd love to see immortalized in a movie someday.
Just to clarify - did McGovern ever get his tax-welform reform passed?
Brilliant, as always @Yes! The level of personal and political detail you manage to work into each and every one of your characters and updates is nothing short of inspiring. In short, you the man.
As always, I'm gonna need a second readthrough to fully absorb everything in another great update. It's hard even on a first time to miss the combination of how indispensable Phil Hart was in this chapter and the ominous descriptions of him being a "wisp", though...
oooooo
love all the taxes stuff (the wagner bit was funny), and medigap is like all my birthdays at once
