Responsible and brainy, Morton has lately harbored an anguished heart. He painfully broke with Lyndon Johnson on the Viet Nam war, looked with dismay at Dirksen's troglodyte image, and saw his party heading for a replay of the 1964 Goldwater debacle. George Romney bored him, Charles Percy faded, and Morton talked up Nelson Rockefeller to his friends. Lately he had become resigned to having a Richard Nixon ticket.

The heart seemed like just another organ to be sent to the pathology department-but in this case, the next stop was the hospital...
Washington Street starts at the mouth of the Charles, sweeps southwest past Government Center, Z-slashes through the heart of West Roxbury, and plunges dead south through the suburbs of Dedham and Westwood. For most of these 25 miles, the street is dark and quiet...
