...soon as Kennedy's election appeared certain, talk of him as a Presidential candidate began. Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., close personal friend and one of ABC's election commentators, suggested this possibility. And Kennedy's brother-in-law Stephen Smith, his campaign manager, made the same suggestion...
Perhaps most surprising, the widely-hailed, efficient Kennedy organization which served JFK so well in 1960 and Teddy in 1962 has been amazingly inefficient. For brother-in-law Stephen Smith, Kennedy's campaign manager, has acted like an out-of-stator time after time, contacting the wrong county leader, inviting both reformers and regulars to the same breakfast, and most recently, refusing an invitation to appear before the state League of Women Voters--something no candidate for state-wide office has done since the custom was initiated...
...generations on end, the Greeks have gone into shipping as their natural calling, reassured by an ancient Hellenic proverb that the sea never freezes.

Also present at the get-together: Menuhin's favorite guru, B.S.K. lyengar, from Bombay...
...warfare and reading Thackeray's Henry Esmond. The shooting war, which largely flows past him, interests Powell less than its effects on the worm-eaten aristocrats and upper-middle-class English men and women who inhabit his fictional world. Not a great deal happens. Nick's brother-in-law, Robert Tolland, is killed while serving in France with the Field Security Service. "Would he have made a lot of money in his export house trading with the Far East? Might he have married Flavia Wisebite? As in musical chairs, the piano stops suddenly, someone is left without...
