They were making some headway. In New York, a number of party officials came over to the Kennedy camp immediately, and although Johnson forces vowed resistance in every district, Kennedy seemed likely to capture a good share of the convention votes. In Ohio, where Johnson's strength had seemed impervious to McCarthy, there were some defections in Kennedy's favor. Senator Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut, previously a Johnson supporter, announced himself a free agent. Maine Governor Kenneth Curtis publicly recalled his admiration for Kennedy, while Vermont Governor Philip Hoff came out for him officially, as did Massachusetts Democratic...
...decision to "reiterate unequivocally" his noncandidacy jolted not only his own staff, which was gearing for a vigorous campaign, but the entire American electorate. Nixonites, naturally, whooped with joy at the prospect of an unimpeded road to the nomination (see following story). McCarthyites invited Republican doubters to join their camp. The G.O.P.'s moderate wing drooped visibly. "Now we've had two ships shot out from under us," said New York's Senator Jacob Javits. Gov ernor Tom McCall of Oregon expressed "deep disappointment."

The other half raced ahead toward...

Among their touchdown locations: Goodnews Bay, site of a platinum mine, and Katmai, where N.C.A. owns a world-famous trout camp. In 1967, Wien hauled some 5,000 passengers on its packaged Arctic tour, winding up at the line's Kotzebue Hotel location...
...Coriolanus by motivating his inability to humble himself before the plebeians. Corresponding to his entire approach, Babe emphasizes diverse characteristics of the man as situations arise. Strongest seems a perverse sense of humor: Coriolanus smiles and waves goodbye when he leaves Rome, as if he were leaving for summer camp. Tom Jones is neither larger-than-life, like Olivier (Stratford, 1960), or rich and petulant, like Ian Richardson (Stratford, 1967), and relies heavily on physical presence and quiet emphatic reading of dialogue...
