Rockefeller organized his campaign in the same way he initiated million-dollar South American business enterprises. Before he set foot on the vote-pulling circuit, assistants drew up a set of 25 studies of the major problems of New York government, bound them in blue, annotated them for quick reference. He carries 18 of the reports with him, studies them between stops. He has a dozen people who normally work "for the family" following him (their salaries paid until November from his own $20,000 maximum campaign contribution). He is fretful when time is lost, and his relaxation sometimes takes...

...School in Concord, N.H., dark-eyed, curly-haired Abdallah Lakfal, going on 14, bounced with excitement last week as the school year got under way. A sixth-former helped him settle in his dorm, showed him the chapel and local stores, escorted him to the gym, where he drew athletic equipment. Then "Abdie" took a series of physical examinations, visited the library, met his teachers and headmaster, the Rev. Matthew Warren, received his first homework assignment.
