...returned at noon yesterday from a dinner in Washington, D.C., for Harvard alumni in Congress, said in an interview yesterday that he had not spoken to Law School Dean James Vorenberg '49 about the protest, and that he had received only second-hand information about the situation at the Law School...

Times, runs a story every other year to commemorate the anniversary of the day Kennedy visited the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. "It was almost as if a saint had come and was reaching his hand to the people," he says. "He went to the grubbiest children and hugged and kissed them." But Bobby was, of course, much more complicated than the myth will allow, more flawed and human...
