...away from him. Since 1964, at least 12.6 million Americans have reached voting age, and Bobby once laid claim to a large percentage of them. "Kennedy thinks that American youth belongs to him as the bequest of his brother," noted ardently pro-McCarthy Columnist Mary McGrory. "Seeing the romance flower between them and Mc Carthy, he moved with the ruthlessness of a Victorian father whose daughter has fallen in love with a dustman." McCarthy was not about to submit meekly. The morning after the election, he flew to Washington for a meeting with Bobby. Aboard the plane, he ran into...
...Episcopal priesthood this month. A 1967 graduate of the Church Divinity School of the Pacific, York has been backed by a number of local churches in operating a "free church" that ministers to Berke ley hippies.

You tell it like it is, man." Says Butler: "It was the best compliment I've ever been paid...
...unhappy compromise. There are not enough teachers or schools and efforts toward educating adults have been generally spotty with discouraging results. One of the greatest problems has proved to be "the follow-up." People may attend the sessions, but, as with the Long Island house-wife after her flower arranging course, there is serious doubt that much will be remembered six months later...
