...much younger, dynamic Senator? At the moment, many party pros say no. That answer would seem to give an advantage to John Connally, 62, who is Kennedy's equal as a tub thumper. If Connally turns out to be unacceptable to rank-and-file Republicans, they might turn either to Howard Baker or George Bush. Both lack flair as campaigners, but they have long experience in Washington, they have no scandal in their backgrounds and their views are only moderately conservative...
...requested such a machine and then used it so sporadically is unclear. He did like to keep written synopses of most Oval Office meetings; but he almost always either had an assistant take notes or dictated his recollections afterward.

After typing the first summary in 1953, she typed at the bottom that ''large portions of the tape were completely garbled.''

Sexual relationships did not relieve the students' loneliness...
Translated, all this means that the committee handles problems that are either too big or too vague to be handled by normal administrative channels. The group's membership, drawing together the major officers from both Harvard and Radcliffe, separates it from the run-of-the-mill University committee. The Joint Policy Committee is, in essence, the last resort--the place where the buck may finally stop on the long and tortuous administrative path. "It's really there to settle thorny problems." says senior corporation member Francis H. Burr '35 who sits on the committee. "I like to think...
