...drew on Brother Ted's aides, and, of course, Ted himself. Brother-in-Law Steve Smith was there to handle the money. Bobby always maintained widespread contacts in the academic world. And he had but to toot the trumpet to assemble such erstwhile Camelot trusties as Salinger, Ted Sorensen, Lawrence O'Brien, Kenneth O'Donnell, Dick Goodwin. Most of the oldtimers are even working without pay, although, as Rose Kennedy has pointed out, money is no object. For a bodyguard, he retained Bill Barry, a former FBI agent who happens to be a New York City bank vice president...
Filling the Lenses. But the team functions. Virtually all the advance scheduling through June 4?the last primary?was blocked out in late March. Special aides are called in for specific situations?Sorensen's brother Philip, former lieutenant governor of Nebraska, was summoned from his present job in Indiana to work his old home state. Jerry Bruno, who had run Kennedy's office in Syracuse, N.Y., supervises the candidate's advance work, attempting to get the widest possible exposure with as much drama as possible. Kennedy and entourage roll up to a small-town school. No one is in sight...
...campaign machine is somewhat ramshackle. He is widely unknown among Nebraskans, and until this week had made only four appearances in the state. Bobby, by contrast, is almost too familiar in the Republican bastion that gave Nixon his largest margin against John Kennedy in 1960.

In Indiana, Bobby's admirers had become dangerously demonstrative. Jostled by crowds in Mishawaka, he banged...

Ted Sorensen, one of Kennedy's top speechwriters and strategists, charged on a television panel show last week that Humphrey had already offered the vice-presidential nomination on his ticket "to every Southern Governor." When pressed as to his source, Sorensen insisted: "I know he has." Which governors in particular? "Right across the board." The idea of Humphrey putting Lester Maddox or Lurleen Wallace as close to the presidency as the proverbial heartbeat is, of course, bafflegab, and Sorensen himself later backed away...
...trappings of the campaign also evoke 1960. Kennedy siblings and offspring, those born to the clan or sworn to its ser vice, abound on the trail and in the back rooms. Reporters seeing the familiar figures of the Kennedy sisters, Pierre Salinger, Kenny O'Donnell, Steve Smith, Tex Sorensen, and so many other names, now eight years older, have begun talking about the "Camelot commandos." Yet the aver age age of Bobby's top six political advisers is still only...
