...midafternoon almost every day this month, mannerly crowds file into the drab and muggy Festspielhaus in Bayreuth to witness an opera by Rich ard Wagner. It is nearly midnight when they file out again - hungry and exhausted, perhaps, but elevated by a sense of hard cultural accomplishment.

He holds the lifetime record for assists (with 636), needs to slip the puck into the net just 33 more times to break Maurice ("Rocket") Richard's career mark of 544 goals. He has won the N.H.L. scoring championship five times; nobody else has won it more than...
Before the election, political cartoonists ridiculed the Kennedys' massed march on Washington. Cracked Satirist Del Close of Chicago's Second City: "If Teddy wins. Laos won't be the only country with three princes." Columnists were critical. "Make no mistake about it," wrote Scripps-How-ard's Richard Starnes, "Teddy Kennedy has mortgaged his brother's Administration." Asked Inez Robb: "Don't you think that Teddy is one Kennedy too many?"
