...students to his Youth for Adlai organization is indicative in itself. Although others say Stevenson is merely riding on his father's name, his election as "Best Legislator" by the Independent Voters of Illinois organization shows he has great promise on his own. He is still no hell-raiser on the platform and often appears to be deep in thought -- even in a casual conversation.
