...recommend to the convention any member of my Cabinet or any of those who meet regularly with the Cabinet." So saying, Lyndon not only ruled out Bobby Kennedy but also knocked off two other men whose partisans had been making Veep noises-Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and Peace Corps Boss Sargent Shriver...

Since 1958, the two countries have been doing annual spadework on each other in what has come to be the world's most intensely fought dual track meet. Last year, in Moscow, the Russians almost completed the burial by walloping the combined U.S. men's and women's teams, 189 to 147. Last week the Russians were on U.S. ground and ready for the last shovelful...
