[1:13] And the boots belong to good friend

[1:16] Shirley MacLaine.

[1:34] You remember when Allstate showed the

[1:36] 1969 cars couldn't take even a 5 mile an

[1:39] hour bump? That's when we first offered

[1:41] the Allstate insurance bumper discount.

[1:43] And remember when Allstate showed how a

[1:45] man could take a 5 mile an hour bump

[1:47] and an old car could take a 5 mile an

[1:49] hour bump,

[1:52] but the '71s couldn't?

[1:54] And we continued to offer the Allstate

[1:56] bumper discount.

[1:58] Well, things are looking up. In 1972,

[2:01] there's about $100 less damage on the

[2:03] average.

[2:04] But still, $234

[2:06] is a lot of damage for a little bump at

[2:09] walking speed.

[2:11] So, Allstate continues to make this

[2:13] offer.

[2:28] Let's make driving a good thing again.

[2:34] The minority report, which would write

[2:36] an abortion plank into the Democratic

[2:39] platform, apparently is being defeated.

[2:41] Many states are still passing, but the

[2:44] vote looks like this. No is against the

[2:47] minority report, and that's 579 to 372.

[2:52] The delegations are splitting pretty

[2:54] well. The McGovern forces are not

[2:55] holding together on this one, and it is

[2:58] obviously a rather free and independent

[3:00] vote. Although the McGovern whips have

[3:03] been working through the hall trying to

[3:05] keep the McGovern forces together so

[3:07] that this will not be in the platform

[3:09] for the reasons that Shirley MacLaine

[3:10] explained to Dan Shore and to us just a

[3:12] moment ago.
