McGeorge Bundy, 41, special assistant to the President for National Security Affairs.

In the Oregon primary last week, the youthful Bostonian gave U.S. Senator Wayne Lyman Morse the drubbing of his political life and registered his seventh straight primary victory-the final one on his schedule. In the seven triumphs (New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Indiana, West Virginia, Nebraska, Maryland and Oregon), Jack Kennedy was the favorite of 1,500,000 voters, added some 330 committed delegate votes* to his convention strength.
