There could be no doubt that the appeal was effective with many listeners and that Massachusetts, at any rate, would not abandon him. The speech, said Harvard Government Professor Samuel Beer, was a "great tribute to his humanity and strength." Many other Bay Staters obviously agreed. Tens of thousands of telegrams and phone calls offering support came into newspapers and TV and radio stations. Elsewhere, of course, reaction was more mixed. The usual surge of Kennedy hate mail came to Arena and, cruelly enough, to the dead woman's parents. In Massachusetts, where the Kennedys are almost sacrosanct, Republicans will...
Cleavages. To an extent, the strategy that is set forward in Phillips' book is an aggrandized version of the 1968 Republican presidential-campaign strategy-though Nixon, in his pre-election speech on new alignments, specifically sought to appeal to both black and white liberals.

As Isabelle's hag-ridden father, Gregoire Asian can convey more with a lowered eyelid than most men do with a shrug of their shoulders...
Thus, the appeal of rent control as an issue--and the need to keep the housing convention going--made it likely that many a sign would be waved and many a voice would be raised on the issue. Yet more general factors--the style of Cambridge politics and the idea behind the agitation over the specific issue of rent control--were also at work...
