Ethel Kennedy was there with four children. Rose Kennedy was there. Eunice Kennedy Shriver was there with her son Bobby. Jean Kennedy Smith was there. Senator Teddy Kennedy was there with his wife Joan. And Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy was there with a mink hat. In fact, the Kennedys outnumbered the nine Justices of the Supreme Court, who also showed up. They had come to see a young lawyer named Bobby Kennedy plead his first case in any court...
...county unit voting system is challenged. That system which was overturned last year by a lower court, gives nearly eight times as much weight to rural votes as it does to urban votes. It hands control of the legislature to back-country princelings, often assures the election of wool-hat Governors, and, incidentally, minimizes the Negro vote, which is concentrated in the cities...
While presidents pass the hat for funds, the chief educators at famed universities these days are the deans of undergraduate colleges. So it is at Yale College, where for 25 years "Dean of Deans" William C. DeVane has been such a beloved fixture that last fall Yalemen could hardly believe his announcement of retirement next June.

Typically, her public school called on the Roepers for help; her neighbors passed the hat for tuition (which runs from $600 to $800 a year). Wealthy parents sponsor many other such kids. A brotherhood of brains unites them all-the measure of which is that only 87 out of 420 bright applicants hurdled the entrance exams last year. One reason is that Roeper also insists...
