...Burns's charges-that High's campaign was managed by Bobby Kennedy and the "Boston-New York-Washington axis"-had the ring of truth. High's campaign team did indeed include such Bobby Kennedy stalwarts as William F. Haddad and Robert Clampitt. Moreover, in his victory speech High reflected a definite Kennedy influence. His gestures and even his words ("Let us begin") were very much J.F.K. as he promised to work for such programs as state tax reform and business expansion...

...elections in those parts of Vietnam controlled by the U.S. had a different problem. If Peabody was having trouble putting his words into thought. Adams struggled with the more conventional reverse difficulty. Uncomfortable during his speech, he clung to the podium, constantly tapping his finger on the wood, his ring glinting through a waterglass with more and more agitation as he searched for adequate words. He couldn't find them. All that came across were the honest, but cliched catchphrases. One admired his courage and regretted his inarticulateness, felt his emotions and didn't believe his arguments...
