Survival Power. The victory was worth every dollar to Kennedy. It was his first real test as a candidate this year, and a loss might well have crippled him. The win would have been sweeter, of course, had it been against his prime opponent, Hubert Humphrey, but Humphrey's name will be on no presidential primary ballots this year. On the same day that Kennedy carried Indiana, however, a Kennedy slate of delegates defeated pro-Humphrey candidates with surprising ease in the District of Columbia primary-a contest that Humphrey, with better organizational work, might have won.

Recently, he took on a multimillion-dollar private venture as the chief executive of a new commercial-television consortium, which begins programming next week with a Special by two of its other stockholders, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor...
...gold; Gary Cooper would never have left a wounded pal to bleed his life away in a wagon outside while he loaded up on rotgut in a saloon. That's what Will Penny does, sitting there, scruffy and stupid, upending the bottle and croaking, "Sure burns a dollar's worth." It looks as if this is going to be an interesting experiment in antiheroics amid the great open spaces...
