marines and 2,000 Spanish marines were deployed. High atop a yellow cliff, a Spanish admiral looked down at the smooth flow of men and machines and termed it "an incredibly complex, perfectly organized and flawless operation." It was not entirely flawless. Marine Lieut. Colonel James B. Ord, at an inland command post, noted a column of smoke twisting over pine trees on the horizon. Grumbled Ord: "Some damn fool started a forest fire. I hope they get it out quickly." Then his walkie-talkie man reported: "Two helicopters have collided and crashed." The H-34 choppers, carrying...

The smooth Kennedy political touch has been inexplicably absent. Kennedy's very entrance into the race was awkwardly handled. Only after he had been publicly eliminated from vice-Presidential consideration did he make eyes at the New York senatorial nomination. And then he permitted the first public announcements of support to come from the "boss" elements in the New York party...
...brother Esau," Jacob said to his mother, "is a hairy man, and I am smooth-skinned! Suppose my father feels me? He will think me frivolous, and I shall bring on myself a curse instead of a blessing...
