...Vice President of the U.S., however, is no longer in the lower-income bracket. He gets $35,000 a year salary, up to $10,000 in tax-free expenses and a Cadillac and chauffeur...
Jumpy Moods. Behind Kennedy lay his first full week of campaigning as a national candidate, along a trail that covered Alaska, Michigan, and the far West. It was a week of ups and downs, exhilarating and disappointing by turn.

Signing autographs on his way through the air terminal, and looking more like an earnest divinity student than a political boss, Patrice Lumumba slipped into a rented Cadillac and was whisked off through the sleeping borough of Queens to Manhattan's respectable Barclay Hotel. The V.I.P. luncheons and the ceremonial meetings with U.N. and U.S. representatives might help to mellow Lumumba after the past few weeks of fumbling and failure in his newly independent homeland...
