...secretary of state. As it was, the built-up resentment against Collins' planners and button-down administrators very nearly lost him the election. Though his Irish pedigree was impeccable, White was suspect in some parts of the city because of his Ivy education (Williams, '52) and cool manner, which sometimes makes him seem more Yankee than the Brahmins...
Pablum & Tranquilizers. Bobby rapidly developed his own style, blending hard proposals, double-edged wit and a tough platform manner. The Johnson dropout deprived him of his prime target, but Hubert Humphrey soon provided another. Kennedy seized on H.H.H.'s "politics of joy" slogan to offer his own contrast: "If you want to be filled with Pablum and tranquilizers," he said in Detroit's John F.

Smith, Trippe was the last of them to relinquish command. And the manner of his departure was typical of the reticent executive. Presiding over Pan Am's annual shareholders meeting, barely 24 hours after the airline's other top brass first got the word themselves, he casually dropped the news at the end of a 45-minute speech on company finances. When 62-year-old President Harold E. Gray, his hand...
