The winner: Indianapolis' own steady, careful Rodger Ward, who also won in 1958, averaged 140.292 m.p.h., enough...
...personal sympathy and respect for the Harvard professor that is totally absent when he discusses Ted Kennedy. "I don't go as far as Stuart Hughes," he reiterates in a tone that encompasses apology, relief and savvy, "but against a Republican we'll be pretty close to the same pole...
