Another Dog's Bone. Bobby Kennedy's entry had McCarthy supporters furious. Growled Actor Newman: "It's a shame Kennedy chose to take a free ride on McCarthy's back." Bobby was called a "claim jumper" and a "cow-bird." Said a student: "Hawks are bad enough. We don't need chickens." Commented New Hampshire Attorney Eugene S. Daniell Jr.: "It is something like trying to steal another dog's bone." Pulitzer-prizewinning Historian Barbara Tuchman (The Guns of August), whose daughter Jessica worked for McCarthy, fired off a telegram accusing Bobby of "cynicism...
...editors put the blame on timid advertisers frightened off by the magazine's iconoclasm. This is true in part; its contents encourage people to imagine a CIA operative behind every bush-or a Kennedy assassin. But Ramparts has had plenty of other troubles. After a furious intramural spat, it ousted Founder-Publisher Edward Keating.

His interpretation of this late (written five years before the master's death) great two-movement sonata is extremely moving-the first furious buildup dissolving into a tender singing adagio that transcends all that went before...

Their picketing has proved ineffectual, even when it was reinforced by occasional mob scenes in front of the Examiner. Non-union people were beaten up, windows smashed. But the police have cleared the area of all but the legal number of pickets. The best the unions...
...roots and maybe, if they get lucky, an occasional lizard or kangaroo. Last week in Tokyo, Lionel Rose, 19, a leathery young Aborigine from Gippsland, Victoria, put his native toughness and tenacity to good use. By outboxing, outpunching and outpointing Japan's Masahiko ("Fighting") Harada over 15 furious rounds, Rose took away Harada's bantamweight boxing title, and thereby became the first world champion-of anything-his people have ever produced...
