...leaders are among the least entertaining folks in Washington. They constitute a sort of vestigial Biplane Set, taking their social life at a less frenetic pace than the jet-setters of the capital's party-go-round. Society columns vibrate to the tempo of glittering embassy dinners, chic Georgetown cocktail parties and white-tie soirees at the White House-but few of Congress's leaders are there. Instead, unpretentious, homebody lives are the preference of the Agnews, the McCormacks, the Dirksens, Senate President Pro Tern Richard Russell, Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield, House Majority Leader Carl Albert...
Maryellen's sister Nance, 26, shared a Georgetown townhouse with Mary Jo Kopechne and two other girls. She was graduated from the Newton (Mass.) College of the Sacred Heart in 1964, and did public relations for the Norfolk County Tuberculosis and Health Association before she got a job, through an employment agency, in Ted Kennedy's office.

During the 1968 campaign, Mary Jo worked in the "Boiler Room" of R.F.K.'s Washington campaign headquarters, where the running count of convention delegates was kept. Mary Jo joined three other young women in renting a small Georgetown house on Olive Street. Though bright, blonde and at least conventionally pretty, she had little social life outside of the office. Michael Dinunzio, who later worked with her in a Colorado Senate campaign, recalled: "She had no plans for marriage. Her total life was politics." He could not remember...
...mood is sullen. Students are not happy. They have had a taste of influence and power and they have not accomplished much." Like other campus elders, Severn fears that next year could be worse-and that new violence could invite a "real crackdown." Father Edwin Quain, acting president of Georgetown University in Washington, notes that "the freshmen are much more radical than the seniors, and I'm told that the high school students coming up are even more...
