...primary broken into 41 playlets, each with its own cast of characters, because he probably could not get two-thirds of the vote in an issue-oriented statewide campaign. A charismatic state figure stumping for the President could conceivably excite the masses in the state to vote against the local Kennedy machinery. Fortunately for Kennedy, there are no pro-Johnson Democrats in the state with that kind of appeal. Frank O'Connor, who lost badly to incumbent Nelson Rockefeller in the 1966 gubernatorial race, is not an exciting man. Averell Harriman, former governor, is of a by-gone era. Joseph...
EUGENE Indjic stepped jauntily onstage Tuesday evening at Sanders Theater and presented his musical credentials for the first time before a Harvard audience. The recital included works by Beethoven and Chopin that are among the most demanding in the standard piano repertoire, and local piano wonks had been worrying ever since the fiiers appeared on the house bulletin boards about where Indjic would get the strength to bring them all under control...

Crangle wields the same kind of power over Erie County (including Buffalo). Although they have not officially supported Kennedy, they do not hide their feelings. A strong county chairman has unmatched influence because he--not a United States Senator or Governor--directly controls the lower-level patronage and favor-dispensation which remain the crux of American politics even when the nation...
