...Senate candidates had refuted each other's statements with close attention, last night they appealed directly to the voters by outlining extensive political programs. Once again, both candidates used their opening statements to deplore the absence of Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy '54, who was represented by an empty podium. Hughes called it "an injustice both to himself and to the electorate of Massachusetts that the third candidate is not here...

Six hours later, after some 800 hired limousines had converged on the area, braying their way through the clogged streets. New York Philharmonic Conductor Leonard Bernstein mounted the podium, bowed to the audience and Mrs. John F. Kennedy, and set the hall ablaze with sound.

Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts made its debut with the opening of the $15.4 million Philharmonic Hall. It is still surrounded by a pocked and chugging wasteland of bulldozers and derricks, power shovels and cement mixers, which will eventually be a 14-acre landscaped park containing a repertory theater, a theater for dance and operetta, a library-museum, a building to house the Juilliard School of music...
