Kennedy is still given the edge in his next encounter with McCarthy, the California primary. The Don Muchmore Poll predicts 40% of the vote for Kennedy, 25% for McCarthy, and 25% for Attorney General Thomas Lynch, who entered the race for President Johnson and is now assumed to be Humphrey's surrogate. Bobby fared surprisingly well in one nonelective contest last week, picking up a minimum of 25 of Iowa's 46 delegate votes (v. about ten for Humphrey, five for McCarthy) at the state convention in Des Moines...

...orderly transition from executive vice-president to his new job, Regan expects the routine to remain largely the same. But there will be one major change. In 1955, to round out his experience, Regan took charge of Merrill Lynch's Philadelphia office for a five-year period; when he returned to Pine Street he continued living in Bryn Mawr to let his four children grow up in accustomed surroundings.
