...campuses, those tactics on Oct. 15 will vary widely. The Congress itself has been urged to participate by two dozen Democratic Senators and Representatives, who announced that they will boycott legislative business on Capitol Hill that day. They include such war critics as Senators George McGovern, Edward Kennedy, Edmund Muskie and William Fulbright. Their idea has spread so widely that there is some doubt whether the Senate will be able to collect a quorum on M-Day. The Republican Party's liberal Ripon Society is backing the moratorium.

Senator Edward Brooke returned home to plump for Saltonstall, and Edward Kennedy made radio spots for Harrington...
Senior Democrats throughout the nation began to patronize the Harrington campaign. Humphrey came, the one big gesture to the moderate center; so did Muskie and McGovern. Eugene McCarthy sent his regards, and Fred Harris appeared on election night in time to make his own victory statement. Edward Kennedy, though, unlike homestaters Brooke and Sargent, could do little to help his favorite in the race...
