I would think Mr. Dukakis' ideas on how to organize and conduct a campaign should be given only enough attention to thoroughly avoid them. His expertise has been thoroughly rewarded already with well-deserved results.
No modern candidate will be helped by an organization that takes six months to build. It is the ponderous inflexible structure and bureaucracy that people identify with the worst sins of government. "Change" advocated by the current candidates needs to be demonstrated during the campaigns by innovating lighter, faster, potent and effective, open to the public, full of easily discerned candor and free of doublespeak; a movement undergirt by good ideas, not the empirial accumulation of the same old baggage.
