Some lower-echelon R.F.K. workers did join up with the McCarthy cause last week, and one Bobby Kennedy staff member, Speechwriter Richard Goodwin, who had worked earlier for McCarthy, may very well return to his old boss. But Kennedy Aide Ted Sorensen spoke for most of the dissolving clan when he urged New York delegates who favored R.F.K. to go to the convention uncommitted.

"He has a nice urbanity and a rather sardonic view of people and events," says Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. Adds Economist John Kenneth Galbraith: "He has the savoir-faire, the savviness, the wisdom that Harold Macmillan had 25 years ago." Also like Macmillan, to whom he is related by marriage, Harlech has profited by a set of thoroughly gilt-edged circumstances. His father served for 28 years as a Tory...
