...with neither party having won a clear victory. "The object of that campaign was not to bring us together, but to defeat 15 Democratic Senators. On the national level we didas well as we expected, and not as well as we hoped. But any election where we defeat [Senators] Gore, Yarborough, Goodell and Tydings can't be all that...
...fevered. Another promising idea, Studs Terkel's talk show with real people instead of talk-show people, is mostly wind. Last week, though, Terkel's regular hardhat got off a gorgeous line about how his American dream was to own a bowling alley-with Arthur Schlesinger and Gore "Videll" (as he pronounced it) as pin boys...

Some, but not all the warts are there. One suspects, oddly enough, that Bobby might look even better with all his blemishes. Still, the portrait is vivid, and the Kennedy who emerges is likely to be a new man to many who thought they knew him. For nearly five years he was a standard by which other American politicians were judged. American Journey illustrates how much he is missed...
