...member of the go-go generation of the space age, it is not difficult to see why the Kennedys are more popular than Johnson. They have flair, charm, a witty intensity, dedication to their country, and, Bugs Bunny to the contrary, we would rather hear that rapid-fire New England accent than that twangy Texas drawl preaching at us. Johnson is square, folksy and dullsville, sounding just like dozens of boring politicians from the past. The Kennedys are bright and new; they're with it.

Evangelist Billy Graham's huge summer crusade did not so much as rattle a window in Lambeth Palace, residence of the Church of England's Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Michael Ramsey, 61.

Anguished anecdotes about Northeast service became a fad. There was, for instance, the plane that loaded up and then sat for so long on the apron that passengers joked to one another about not having a pilot. As it turned out, they didn...
Amherst parlayed a pair of fast breaks and one of New England's most rockribbed defenses to a 2-0 win over the Harvard soccer team in the rain at Soldiers Field Saturday morning. The loss evened Harvard's record at 1-1, with one game at Williams remaining before the Ivy season opens...
