Curiouser and curiouser...but after a wickedly approximating journey through the 1968 Presidential nominations and campaign, with the soothsaying satirist of the New York Times, one is possessed by the baflling notion that it all somehow happened. We wouldn`t dream of spoiling the fun by revealing the names of the candidates or the outcome of the election, but the Baker method of tipping real events ever so slightly toward a logical lunacy, projects a hilariously entertaining possibility. Primarily the battle of the Republican luminaries, although Wallace pops and steams predictably, the Republican three R`s. Nixon and his nuncios, Barry Coldwater, and ke, play themselves, in style, in context. At the close (no, it didn`t happen the way one might think) Bobby Kennedy tops a hoarse whisper by LBJ with: "I am the only President the country has." And further: " `When I told him,` Kennedy would later tell friends, `he gulped.` " Subtitled The Incredible Story of What Happened in the 1968 Elections," this is barbecued politics for all precincts. Baker on all burners.
