...comfortably. All of New England is suffering from a lagging economy, giving any Democrat a chance to win in the less conservative states. Kennedy could easily carry Rhode Island and his home state of Massachusetts, where he won re-election after Chappaquiddick, although by a reduced margin. Even Republican pros give Teddy an edge in Connecticut. In Maine, the issue would not be Chappaquiddick or the economy; it would be home-state resentment of Kennedy for beating Muskie out of the nomination. In that event, even if Muskie worked hard for Kennedy, Nixon might win there, as he surely would...
Chappaquiddick does have a bite here, particularly in the Bible Belt areas of Kansas and Nebraska and in the Catholic pockets of Wisconsin. The suggestion that Kennedy, a married man, might have been involved with a single woman pains many. The Democratic Party pros seem to feel more strongly about the issue than many rank-and-file Democrats. When asked about Ted, Democratic state chairmen here tend to snap: "He's the fellow who went off the bridge."

On Aurelio's agenda will be Florida and Indiana, two important early-primary states where Lindsay trial balloons were well received, and probably California, which the pros judge an excellent political climate for a Lindsay TV campaign. One advantage to Aurelio's reassignment is that Lindsay risks little. If response is poor, he can gracefully withdraw, rather than drop out with a thud à la Harris. The more likely probability...

...Archie Manning of New Orleans, 6 ft. 3 in., 212 Ibs., was equally dangerous at Mississippi as a passer and runner. While it is almost axiomatic in the pros that a team cannot win a championship with a scrambling passer, Manning may yet prove the exception. Directing a green team (eight rookies in the starting lineup) against the experienced Los Angeles Rams, Manning kept the rugged Ram defense off guard with his fancy footwork and completed 16 passes, one for a touchdown. Then he closed the game in a style reminiscent of his Merriwellian history at Ole Miss: with...
