They have been careful not to make such a mistake with Philip Blaiberg...
...anti-war forces, a joint Kennedy-McCarthy attack on the President's policy, is melting in the heat of success. McCarthy seems more than a little annoyed at Kennedy's haste, and remarks half-whimsically that, "the track is getting a little crowded," while Kennedy supporters quietly insist that the Minnesota Senator will be forced to defer after the two clash in their first primary encounter...
