...large Virginia home was dark at 9:30 p.m., and Ted Kennedy, in a denim shirt and slacks, sat alone in the high-ceilinged library. He looked ruddy, handsome and, with his thick legs and arms, somewhat burly. The house was totally silent. In front of him on the glass table was his attache case, opened up and spilling over with business. Earlier in the day, as he left the office, one of his closest aides had wondered aloud if the Senator ever got lonely; it seemed an odd question about a man so constantly surrounded by people, so constantly...
...cops v. cons in a football game straight out of the 1974 film The Longest Yard. But this time none of the players came from central casting. The quarterback for the boys in blue denim was Black Militant H. Rap Brown, 32, now serving a 5-to-15-year stretch for a 1971 robbery and shootout with Manhattan police. Brown's teammates: some of his comrades from Green Haven prison. Their opposition: New York's Finest, who agreed to the charity game at Long Island's Hofstra University in order to raise money for retarded children. Despite...
...management retrenches, closing the club at two now instead of four a.m. The lavish vases of fresh-cut flowers--crisp white carnations and crowds of blue irises the color of twilight--are gone. The bare walls have emerged from behind them, triumphant. Heavy and silent, they tolerate the denim-bedecked transient dancers and ache from their loud stream of music.

HAMILTON JORDAN, 30, National Campaign Director. A plump native of Albany, Ga., Jordan wears denim jackets and open-necked shirts. He affects a good-ol'-boy manner but is a coolly professional political operative. In 1966, he was youth coordinator of Carter's first, unsuccessful campaign for Governor, then managed his winning gubernatorial drive in 1970 and became his executive secretary. Jordan describes himself as a late-blooming progressive. A cousin founded Koinonia (Greek for fellowship or communion), a biracial farm in southwestern Georgia that deeply offended Ku Klux Klan members and other white racists in the 1940s...
Trudeau's dislikes are ambidextrous. Neither radicals nor reactionaries are safe from his artillery. Stuffed shirts of Oxford broadcloth or frayed denim receive the same impudent deflation. Yet Trudeau attacks with such gentle humor that even hard-nosed presidential aides can occasionally be heard chuckling over the daily White House news summary-when it includes a Doonesbury. "It has replaced Peanuts as the first thing I read every morning," says Ron Nessen. Admits Snowbunny himself: "There are only three major vehicles to keep us informed as to what is going on in Washington-the electronic media, the print media...
