...attends a cocktail party for Beat writers (during which a Harvard man says, "You've got hope here. That's more than we've got at Harvard."), examines the go-go phenomenon, pedals fourteen laps around Central Park, and has 'the works' at Mr. Kenneth's in those New Frontier days when he did Jackie, Rose, Pat, and Eunice. She is at her best, perhaps, when dealing with Personalities. Truffaut, Albee, Stevenson, Noel Coward, and Simon McQueen (the weather girl) all make their appearances. "Campaigning I" and "Campaigning II," in which she deals with Robert Kennedy and Kenneth Keating during...
Lord Harlech, formerly David Ormsby-Gore, comes to the Vietnam issue with rare credentials. A good friend of President Kennedy, he was ambassador to Washington throughout the New Frontier. Now, as deputy leader of the House of Lords, he is one of Ted Heath's "new men." Newsweek calls him "the Tory to watch," predicting that he will head the Foreign Office if and when the Conservatives are elected. He has had experience in the Far East, and advised JFK as well as his own government on the Laotian muddle. As a veteran disarmament negotiator and UN delegate...

In return, Bobby Kennedy last August topped the bill at a dinner that netted $60,000 for Lucey's current campaign. Since then, however, Kennedy has carefully stayed clear...
...Pigs "setback" seems a mere preliminary bout for the Administration's sword's-point showdown over the dismantling of Soviet missile sites in Cuba. "There were those who disagreed with the President," says Peck. But they obviously don't matter very much. On the New Frontier, once unreliable U.S. rockets sail obediently into orbit. In the movie's oversimple view of Washington under Kennedy, intramural shoptalk and crackling press conferences disappear, for the city is "transformed into a cultural capital." In fact, this is neither Kennedy's Washington nor Washington's Kennedy...
