...politician, as Kennedy departed: "He'll murder Nixon."* Behind the Front. Being unchallenged front runner, Kennedy is clearly the man his Democratic rivals must stop. Last week his lieutenants were only belatedly invited to a conference of Midwest Democratic chieftains in Milwaukee. (Top aide Ted Sorensen and brother Robert Kennedy† showed up.) While the conference accomplished little, it underscored the fact that Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey and Missouri's Stuart Symington are in the favor of Midwest politicians. Both are working hard to expand the Midwest political base and head off the unchallenged vote preference...

...father. Her wambly, 17-year-old stepsister Janet is too busy with a married schoolmaster to watch over her charge. Auntie Florence, nearly 80, who combs the beach for "anything and everything" and hides her treasure in a cave, is absorbed in herself. Only Hilary's younger brother Peregrine, whom she alternately pets and patronizes, shares her "delicious fearfulness." But eventually even he fails her. And when Hilary's father finally realizes that the girl was right about the murder, it is too late; he dies of a heart attack...
