...other days, thousands waited through heavy rain to see Kennedy in suburban Yonkers, thronged against his 15-mile motorcade through Brooklyn. At first, opponents had put the enthusiasm in the Kennedy camp down to the Kennedyites' characteristically aggressive confidence, then rated the enthusiasm as just bandwagon psychology, finally conceded that the spirit was based on a clear expectation of victory. Kennedy workers cautioned one another against overconfidence. Kennedy himself, observed New York Post Columnist Murray Kempton, acted "as though the campaign were over and there remained only the thanking of the troops...
...failure. If you had accepted, or even if the French had made conces sions you could have accepted, the Algerian revolution would be dead. Your reaction at Melun proved your maturity. We were afraid you would disappoint us." In Manhattan Khrushchev hurried to get back on the revolutionary bandwagon, told the Algerians that only power counts, and proposed a two-stage assistance program.

You have falsely asserted that one of my stories was a sample of how "the press sometimes even appeared" to help push the Kennedy bandwagon along, and that specifically a story about possible rules changes "was obviously made up out of whole cloth." That story described a tactic, later abandoned, whereby the anti-Kennedy forces considered a rules change to prevent delegations from changing their vote after the initial roll call of states. Although Senator Johnson...
...their own. With the state's Democratic primary looming Sept. 13, such formality is the essence of clarity. Not that anybody wants too much clarity, for no fewer than eleven Kennedys-including seven Johns-hope to hitchhike into office this year on Jack Kennedy's bandwagon...
