...corporal's guard of eggheads who were true to Stevenson in 1952 and 1956 drafted a letter endorsing Kennedy in hopes of starting a liberal stampede to the Kennedy banner. Signers: Harvard's Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and John K. Galbraith, Amherst's Henry Steele Commager and Washington Lawyer Joseph Rauh, onetime chairman of Americans for Democratic Action. In Manhattan, a regiment of eggheads closed the gap in their ranks with a Draft Stevenson Committee, signed a loyalty pledge supporting their favorite candidate. Among the signers: Poets Carl Sandburg and Archibald MacLeish. Authors John Steinbeck and John Hersey...
