Seeking Luster. The mood of the nation reflects ambiguity: craving new approaches and answers, yet responsive to a deepening conservatism; anxious to heal the blighted cities, yet apprehensive about riots and crime. There is little exuberance. Humphrey has lived to regret his "politics of joy" effusion. McCarthy's mien is often somber, and Rockefeller, despite his smiling expeditions through campaign crowds, speaks with earnest gravity about the cities...

...much-maligned James Michael Curley had this same ability to forge personal, emotional bonds with his aides and cohorts. Shy, anxious Bobby Kennedy had something else: his backers were certain that he alone could move to heal the racial, generational, and international crisis hobbling America. As one Boston female lawyer back from the funeral said Sunday. "He had more imagination, guts, and heart than the rest."
