Flopping down on a green sofa, Kennedy sorted out a clutch of papers-a memo from the Brookings Institution on transition of Government responsibility, details on job requirements supplied by Aide Clark Clifford, who had been working with Brookings for many weeks. "Well," said Jack Kennedy, riffling through the sheaf, "what do we have to do?" He glanced up at Ted Sorensen, his No. 1 assistant. "Ted,'' said Kennedy, "I want you to be my special counsel." He named his dogged, cigar-chomping campaign press aide, Pierre Salinger, as press secretary; Clifford as special liaison...
...Jersey. In 14 years in Congress, six of them in the Senate, spare, able Clifford P. Case, 56, has shown himself one of the most independent of Republican liberals. The scholarly son of a Dutch Reformed minister, Case is no gladhander, tends to neglect his political fences, and has repeatedly driven conservative New Jersey Republicans into open revolt by his egghead policies. Case's re-election reinforces his shaky position as his state's top Republican leader...
...problem is that the U.S.-with 2,380,475 federal employees, a $77 billion annual budget, and a cold war on its hands-has no constitutional machinery for transferring power from one administration to another. To smooth the way, a Brookings team set up liaison with Clark Clifford, onetime counsel for Harry Truman, representing Kennedy, and Brigadier General Robert E. Cushman Jr., speaking for Nixon. Advised by a 14-man committee headed by former Under Secretary of State Robert Murphy, the Brookings team has interviewed some 60 top-level veterans of changeovers. Last week their accumulated wisdom went...
...number of hepatitis cases reported in the U.S. so far this year, and the year-end total is expected to fall shy only of 1954's record 50,093. Reported cases are believed to be only a fraction of the actual total; Kentucky Epidemiologist J. Clifford Todd estimates that there have been four victims in his state-with 1,628 cases, the nation's hardest hit-for every one reported. In Colorado's heavily Mexican-American counties along the Ar kansas River, the hepatitis rate is so high that the state's 1960 toll (903 cases...
Thus, Kennedy did not gain those crucial votes, and he will have to rely to some extent on the support of Republicans like Clifford Case to break the conservative group's strangle-hold on progressive legislation. In spite of this, the wide Democratic margins in both houses were left intact, and it is hoped that Kennedy will use the full powers of his new office to swing his fellow Democrats behind his own programs. But it is unfortunate that Kennedy himself, and liberals all over the country, did not gain a more decisive majority of the national electorate...
