...spread too thin-there were not enough members of the Kennedy family, enough brisk young Harvardmen, enough seasoned toilers from the primaries to blanket the entire U.S. In some states, Bobby settled for second-rate, amateurish local leaders; in others, imported Kennedymen were hampered by local feuds and politicians jealous of outside intruders. Some states, such as Indiana, lent themselves to a formula of the local organization and the volunteers working together in happy harmony under the direction of a coordinator from headquarters.

Wolfe was an oppressive lover. He was sickly jealous, perhaps fearful that he might be counter-cuckolded by Bernstein, and so boorish that he constantly called her "my Jew" and made such entries in his diary as "Met Jew at 11:00." When he eventually cut himself off from her because he thought that the affair was stifling his career...
