...different Ginsbergs during his week in Cambridge--from an extravagant bohemian ranting about schemers in Washington and Moscow, to a mellow gentleman inquiring after a blonde Cliffie's major, to a concerned New Yorker remonstrating with the Mayor's son, to a relaxed and gentle nudist in the CRIMSON sanctum. He is, I think, a surprisingly loving man; one who knows well the hell of rejection and longs for a place where everyone might find himself accepted...

He tried hard to save Joe McCarthy from the Senate's censure, and might have succeeded had not McCarthy made a witless remark about the panel of Senators investigating him being the "unwitting handmaiden" of Communism. When asked to campaign against Democrat Scott Lucas in Illinois in 1950, Bridges was furious. "Scott Lucas refused to come to New Hampshire in 1948 and campaign against me," he sputtered.
