It also meant an end to Ofuji's meddling. And it probably meant that old Ryohei Murayama could relax at last with his ancestors...

Congressman Bruce Alger a tough fight for reelection...
What of Robert Kennedy? Reports of a feud between him and Johnson are probably overdone, but it is no secret that the two have never gotten along. There is a vast difference between the two in style, personality and temperment, if not in policy. According to reliable reports, Johnson will choose Kennedy only if political conditions make it imperative. Kennedy may go after the nomination, at least in private. But he will have to accept Johnson's choice. He is young and if he decides to make politics his career, he cannot afford to alienate too many men he might...
