...gamesmanship has won many a hot battle in Congress during the seven Kennedy months. The Administration has suffered defeats: its medical care for the aged bill was shelved without ever coming up for vote; its farm program was gutted; its school aid bill, now vastly diluted, is still in grave doubt.
