Pockets of Strength. Even before last week, Humphrey's forces had quietly marshaled sufficient delegate strength to put him within clear marching distance of a convention victory; Kennedy's death put him even closer. In his eleven-week campaign, R.F.K. had amassed more than 300 convention-delegate votes, including the 172 he won in California last Tuesday. Much of Kennedy's delegate legacy will inevitably fall to Humphrey. In Indiana, for example, the New Yorker's May 7 primary victory had assured him of at least 53 of the state's 63 convention votes.

Last week the girls cleared the field again. When the eleven men and twelve women had finished playing their way through the single contest piece-Bach's monumental Goldberg Variations-the judges gave the first prize of $1,000 to Toronto Pianist Mari-Elizabeth Morgen, 23. Mari-Elizabeth was so sure that she would not get past the semifinals that she brought only one dress to Washington. That was her only mistake; at the piano, she was flawless-poised, professional, and in full control of the knuckle-crunching requirements of the Goldbergs.* Second and third prizes were given...
