...chosen the two newest states for his kickoff, explained Jack Kennedy with unabashed corniness, because "they are, in a sense, symbols of the New Frontier." On Labor Day, Jack would make the traditional stem-winding speech before the big annual A.F.L.-C.LO. rally in Detroit's Cadillac Square, and after that he would take to the road in earnest, in tours of seven or eight days each, with no more than a day or two off between trips...
...earnestly he wins Success' own Sweet cadillac.... moves on to describe the poem's unnamed character returning home, and begins to discuss his garden and his contentment with his mode of living. As one reads along, however, one realizes that not only is the poet describing in almost bitter terms the character's satisfaction with his garden, but is also parodying Marvell's The Garden, a rather brilliant piece of allegorical poetry in which Marvell makes his garden the image for intense Platonic contemplation.

Time to Nap? Kennedy got moving like a honeybee in the spring. He patrolled the reaches of Los Angeles in a white Cadillac. Invading caucus after caucus, he made his plea for support, fitting each ad-lib speech to the mood of the moment or the region.

At the University of Pittsburgh, classrooms and dorms were filled; the student-union lounge and the cafeteria clattered with noise.

Reason for the activity: Pitt is experimenting with a novel "trimester" system that keeps the campus humming eleven months of the year. As the number of students seeking a college education grows by leaps...
...summer's afternoon nine years ago, a Cadillac careened at high speed past a stop sign onto a highway in suburban Philadelphia, directly in the path of a huge trailer truck. The driver of the car-Albert Coombs Barnes, multimillionaire, eccentric and owner of one of the world's greatest collections of modern art-died instantly. When the news of Barnes's violent end reached him, Henri Marceau, curator of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, had an awed comment: "How natural." Long before his death, Albert Barnes's fabulous collection of French and American modern...
