...liberal Nelson Rockefeller's election to the New York governorship. The incoming 34-man G.O.P. minority includes twelve or so liberals, eight or so swingmen, only 14 or so Old Guardsmen still grouped around the flags of Illinois' Everett McKinley Dirksen, minority whip, front runner for Bill Know-land's old minority-leader job, and New Hampshire's four-term Senator Styles Bridges, 60, Governor of New Hampshire at 36, U.S. Senator at 38, now head of the shadowy G.O.P. Policy Committee and the most powerful Republican in the Senate...
...hard when Hubert Humphrey's wife Muriel remarked at a cocktail party: "If Stu Symington is the competition for President, then it's a wide-open race." Kennedy has been campaigning ever since. He has been in every state of the Union except Tennessee, has come to know and be known by some 1,500 professional Democrats who generally go to conventions.

When asked how to achieve success in politics, Curley replied, "Become a Republican; and then they won't criticize you for doing what I've done." Professor Cherington recalls that, "He improved the quality of the course immensely." It was during...
...first sorted alphabetically, with half going to the "on row" houses one night--and the "off row" houses the next. As the fraternities already have about a hundred brothers, the numbers involved become rather formidable, but everyone has his name on his lapel, drinks beer, and gets to know everyone else. Grinning desperately, everyone tries to be shoe. The third evening the candidate is free to go to absolutely any house he chooses, but the fourth night he must be invited...
