The article focuses on political campaigns in the U.S. Issues discussed is why politician Jesse Jackson would oppose Georgia Senator Sam Nunn as the running mate for Michael Dukakis. Nunn has many laurels to his credit and is popular in Washington. Nunn has won much praise for his successful challenge to U.S. President Ronald Reagan Administration's campaign to dump the "strict" reading of the 1972 antiballistic missile treaty and substitute its own implausible interpretation. As a deputy Jackson is more effective for Dukakis than Nunn. Jackson would fight for the ticket and would pose a competition to Nunn.
