...given the edge. He is the consummate campaigner, willing and able to outtravel, outspend and outwork McCarthy. Yet there are the animosities that will not evaporate. Some border on the irrational, as suggested by the remark of a Chicago editor, who feels that Bobby has been "the guy off stage pulling the strings, the guy who chopped heads." There is the residual feeling in some quarters that the Kennedy millions "bought" the White House once and that they are being unlimbered in another attempt to do so. And there is the criticism, sometimes justified, that Kennedy will do almost anything...
Moonlight Meeting. At this stage of the campaign, the crowds seem to be looking at the runners more than listening. On domestic issues, little of substance divides the three Democratic candidates. On Viet Nam, McCarthy and Kennedy are in basic agreement; and while the Paris talks are going on, debate with Humphrey is blunted. It is easier to differentiate them by their style. Kennedy's is tense, urgent, gritty. When the crowds are not attempting to steal his clothing, he will often take off his jacket and roll up his sleeves before talking.

...headquarters of the Poor People's Campaign-the last project launched by the late Martin Luther King Jr-the shantytown is designed to prod Congress into taking action on behalf of the nearly 30 million poor Americans.

The University should make an effort in this way to redress in part the vast imbalance in the availability of outside research funds among fields...
...most exciting presentation proved to be the sacrilegious, frivoulous, ridiculous Trio of Susan Golod and Peter Mansbach from Brandeis. The two prance about the stage with a desk chair (the third in the trio) to some very fine Scarlatti. Squirming under the chair, carrying it, carrying each other, stomping heartily to the music, the bespecatcled Miss Golod (whoever heard of a ballerina wearing glasses?) and the scruffy, blue-jeaned Mr. Mansbach made flagrant nonsense of both the old Master and the art of dance. It was a daring, enjoyable piece, summarizing the evening's offerings with appealing honesty...
