...Cardell's Cafeteria opposite the Brattle Theatre, Buddy serves an awesome 1/4 pound Big Hamburger for $.95. Its chief distinction is that it is charcoal broiled rather than deep-fried in the remains of someone else's Hot Pastrami. The Big Cheeseburger ($1.05) is topped with a big scoop of soft cheddar cheese, a welcome and novel departure from the usual flimsy slice of American...
...remains very much alive, however, unlike Edmund Muskie of Maine, the most spectacular casualty of the crowded campaign. The list of dead and wounded grew last week; after a disappointing 8% showing in Ohio, where he had expected to do well among more conservative Democrats, Washington's Henry ("Scoop") Jackson announced that he too would retire from campaigning.

While he was still in the race, John Lindsay tried to project himself as an "urban populist." Ed Muskie held off for a while...
