...admit that the first thing that comes to my mind, even after seeing the blood all over the steps of University Hall one nice spring morning a while back, is John Kennedy. Did you know he was on the business board of the CRIMSON a few years before Camelot? He was. I read in Time last month that the editor of the Wisconsin Daily Cardinal refers to John F. Kennedy '40 as "one of the biggest pigs." And what can I say to that, too, but "right on"? But I cried for six hours, drunk, after his brother died...

The hippie Camelot promised by Charles Reich in The Greening of America
...wives?or mistresses?Washington has never been a romantic place even in the Camelot days, and it is palpably less so today. In Martha Mitchell's view from the top, the city is certainly exciting, and some day it may be a matter of record. "Just as soon as we leave Washington," she says, she will start writing a book about it. "I am a sponge," she once said. "I have been soaking up material, and it's fabulous...
