Last week Edward Kennedy campaigned for Humphrey in Boston. Kennedy's brother-in-law Stephen Smith also offered to help. Senator George McGovern joined the Humphrey party in South Dakota. The A.F.L.-C.I.O. leadership ratified George Meany's support and began an urgent, if belated drive to recapture the loyalty of unionists who have been drifting toward George Wallace.

After the gunshot killings of Bobby and Martin Luther King, the Johnson Administration drew up gun-control legislation that went considerably beyond an earlier law that forbade the mail-order sale of revolvers and automatics. Chin cradled in hand, Ted Kennedy last week watched the Senate debate that measure...
