...speechwriter for President John F. Kennedy. The effort failed, ironically, when two other former Kennedy men, representing the McCarthy and McGovern camps, forced Sorensen to agree to a more dovish statement than Hum phrey was likely to approve. During a daylong hassle, Sorensen clashed repeatedly with McCarthy Speechwriter Richard Goodwin and Pierre Salinger, a McGovern aide. The result was a plank incorporating many ideas set forth by Ted Kennedy in the speech he gave last week at Worcester, Mass. It demands an immediate bombing halt (which the Administration opposes), a cutdown in offensive operations by the U.S. and a phased...
...small, and Johnson quipped at week's end: "I'm not a candidate for anything except maybe a rocking chair." But the fact that it was even being mentioned was a measure of the Democrats' uneasy mood as they assembled in Chicago. Said McCarthy Aide Richard Goodwin: "This is the convention of the lemmings.

...could expect scant help from Kennedy forces. Some lower-echelon R.F.K. workers did join up with the McCarthy cause last week, and one Bobby Kennedy staff member, Speechwriter Richard Goodwin, who had worked earlier for McCarthy, may very well return to his old boss. But Kennedy Aide Ted Sorensen spoke for most of the dissolving clan when he urged New York delegates who favored R.F.K. to go to the convention uncommitted. Although Kennedy and McCarthy forces share much the same ideology, many R.F.K. supporters paid such unswerving fealty to their man that they continued to resent McCarthy...
