Kennedy frequently shows the same weariness in his own grueling campaign rounds, but Jack seizes his opportunities to relax and recharge-on a midnight plane seat, between the rounds in a hotel room, during his occasional days off in Washington and Hyannisport. (Before last week's TV debate, he holed up in a Chicago hotel room, slept eleven hours, napped another two.) Bobby never stops. Says Jack: "He's living on nerves." He is also living on the absolute conviction that he and Jack are going to win in November...
...voter enthusiasm for each candidate gave Lodge a higher rating than Kennedy, Johnson or Nixon. So many urgent requests for Lodge to speak have poured into G.O.P. headquarters in Washington that Lodge has had to abandon his hope of keeping his weekends free during the campaign to rest and relax at his home on Massachusetts...
...taste maker of Campbell Soup Co., the world's largest producer of canned and frozen soups. Every night Murphy has soup for dinner. It may be a new soup from Campbell's experimental kitchens, a staple variety whose quality Murphy wants to check on, or he may relax with his favorite-tomato soup mixed half-and-half with milk.

...opposed, springlike muscles in the insect's thorax. Acting through elastic structures in the thorax wall, one muscle set draws the wings up, the other pulls them down. At a specific point on the upswing, the wings "click" to a fully elevated position, the elevating muscles automatically relax, and the tautly stretched depressing muscles take over. The same sequence is repeated on the downswing. The flying muscles do not need to be triggered by nerve commands. The insect's nerves serve only to start and stop the process-like the car's ignition...
