Will he be able to take the pounding of the campaign? He has managed to control himself in the face of hostile questioning, but barely. He does not come off as self-righteous, as Jimmy Carter sometimes did. But he has not shown the capacity of his model, John F. Kennedy, to disarm critics with self-deprecation.
