...mayoralty campaign, the City of Brotherly Love put on as unfilial a show of plain-&-fancy mudslinging as U.S. politics had seen in many a day. Against Bill Bullitt stood an odd combination: the G.O.P. machine and Communists who still smarted from ex-Ambassador Bullitt's lack of tact toward the Soviet Union in 1933-36.

The aft portion went up in flames. Kennedy rescued two of his crewmen, clung to the bow with them and eight others for twelve hours, towed one of the men on a three-hour swim to a small island. There they lived on coconuts for three days, then swam to a larger island, where friendly natives found them the next day, carried back...
