Long-Hair Appeal. Bobby, of necessity, is thus looking toward 1972-though he runs the risk of becoming passe by then. As Psephologist Scammon notes: "The life span of the presidential butterfly is not great." Meanwhile the New York Senator is aiming his appeal at a special constituency. Within five years, 26 million new voters will have come of age, and Kennedy is fond of quoting Goethe's dictum: "The destiny of any nation, at any given time, depends on the opinions of its young men under...

This argument has a great appeal to conservatives--provided, as Barry Goldwater urged, the money is spread around--but a great many liberals have seized upon it as an opportunity for escape from the unnatural constraints of virtue. In the liberal soul too there lurks a little of the late James Bond, coupled perhaps with a few of the more...
