...never seemed at ease in the Senate. He was blunt where it pays to be euphemistic. He was an activist in a club dedicated to deliberation, and he was impatient with rules and tradition, both of which the Senate venerates. He was a loner. Yet he achieved a good deal simply because he worked longer and harder than most of his colleagues, assembled a better staff, sensed more deeply the nation's abiding problems. He knew that he was the only man in the country, save perhaps the President, who could make headlines with almost anything he said...
Never an intellectual, Bobby nonetheless read a great deal, particularly after Dallas.

Moro himself regards an alliance with the Communists as unthinkable, but more leftist Christian Democrats see it as a way out of the dilemma. Despite the Communist specter, the Socialists seem determined to hold out on the Christian Democrats, defying all of Nenni's pleas to cooperate. Explained Socialist Luigi Mariotti, Minister...
Closing the Deal. So effective has Realtron been that it has been adopted by the real estate board of Fairfax and Arlington counties in Virginia to list some 1,800 houses in that area. What a timesaver it can be was demonstrated by U.S. Army Major Ronald Dubois, a Viet Nam veteran, who was assigned to the Pentagon. After following up several leads only to have his hopes dashed, he consulted Falls Church, Va., Broker Reba Gardner. She put their problem to Realtron...
