1
00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:26.920
It doesn't make any difference to a person.

2
00:00:29.260 --> 00:00:31.580
I know some people they won't sell.

3
00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:32.380
They just buy.

4
00:00:33.340 --> 00:00:34.560
They live off the dividends.

5
00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:38.720
The fellow that has to buy and sell.

6
00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:41.660
If the market don't go up and down, he can't make no money.

7
00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:43.000
Right.

8
00:00:44.180 --> 00:00:44.180


9
00:00:45.080 --> 00:00:46.120
I have to remember that.

10
00:00:46.700 --> 00:00:47.220
Okay.

11
00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:50.800
It's a...

12
00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:51.500
Here we go.

13
00:00:56.540 --> 00:00:58.320
They keep changing.

14
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.200
They can change every minute.

15
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:04.820
Mike, Mike repo four minute one.

16
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:07.820
Dave County.

17
00:01:56.420 --> 00:01:57.780
You've heard of Stanley Arnold.

18
00:01:57.780 --> 00:02:01.700
He's been campaigning actively and we don't know much about Mr. Smothers candidacy.

19
00:02:01.720 --> 00:02:03.060
That doesn't mean it's not serious.

20
00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:04.080
Apparently it is.

21
00:02:04.080 --> 00:02:07.820
He's got 50 signatures at least from three states to get on the list.

22
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:14.540
Franklin McMahon of Lake Forest, Illinois calls himself an artist reporter.

23
00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:16.100
Not a bad name for it.

24
00:02:16.100 --> 00:02:26.960
He's been documenting this 1972 political season in watercolors and he's been recording this convention scene out there, which is made for watercolors, I would suggest.

25
00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:33.980
Now with some of McMahon's paintings, a report from our CBS News correspondent, Charles Osgood.

26
00:02:34.760 --> 00:02:38.760
Stepping from the sticky Florida heat into a cool but crowded hotel lobby.

27
00:02:39.340 --> 00:02:43.100
Decor, Miami Beach, Neo-Versailles.

28
00:02:43.100 --> 00:02:49.800
Passing a cheaper hotel on the beach where the warm July breeze when there is a breeze is all the air conditioning there is.

29
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.500
Here, some welfare rights non-delegates.

30
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.140
And the campers out.

31
00:02:56.580 --> 00:02:59.860
You'd see them making a kind of hotel out of Flamingo Park.

32
00:03:00.380 --> 00:03:05.800
Grant Park is only in another city, but it seems now it's from another age, another world.

33
00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:10.980
Here they used a tree for a roof, made bedrooms out of cars and trucks.

34
00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:14.360
Made offices out of tents.

35
00:03:18.220 --> 00:03:28.280
Unlike the candidates who are installed in the Big Plush Resort hotels, artist McMahon calls this painting, Prairie Populist in the Pleasure Palace of Kubla Khan.

36
00:03:30.340 --> 00:03:36.780
You could ride along Collins Avenue and even at odd hours see delegates caucusing in some of the upstairs suites.

37
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.480
The candidates came in over the weekend.

38
00:03:40.980 --> 00:03:48.940
This was the arrival area at Miami International Airport on Saturday when George Wallace was lifted from a hospital plane and wheeled up to the rostrum.

39
00:03:50.140 --> 00:03:57.200
What had happened to George Wallace in Maryland and the other tragic history of recent years made Miami Beach security conscious.

40
00:03:57.860 --> 00:04:00.620
Secret service men are everywhere and the police too.

41
00:04:00.860 --> 00:04:03.320
Not obtrusive, but they are there.

42
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:10.520
Inside the hall, the old and new politics, the old and new people came together.

43
00:04:13.820 --> 00:04:15.220
MediaFest 1972.

44
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.180
More newsmen here than delegates.

45
00:04:19.260 --> 00:04:23.300
And in just about every press room in this convention hall, a television set.

46
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:31.320
The camera eyes looked down at the rostrum and floor from high ground, specially constructed.

47
00:04:36.820 --> 00:04:39.720
The balloon amats were all over town.

48
00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:40.940
This was Monday.

49
00:04:41.340 --> 00:04:46.220
Now all the balloons have popped, but one.

50
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.100
Charles Osgood, CBS News, Miami Beach.

51
00:04:54.520 --> 00:04:59.600
Well, it didn't take me long to find out about Claiborne Smothers who is going to be put into nomination for the...
