Last spring Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy caused a stir at Washington's blueblooded Metropolitan Club when he learned that a fellow member, George Cabot Lodge, 34 (son of Henry Cabot Lodge), had been prevented from inviting to lunch George Weaver, who is 1) young Lodge's successor as Assistant Secretary of Labor, and 2) a Negro. But last week, though notably reluctant to discuss the episode, the Metropolitan Club had admitted Lodge and Guest Weaver to its once segregated sanctum...
...same state, the campers took nature walks between classes at the camping school, where they learned how to keep a campfire from turning into a disaster (dig a hole for the fire, line the rim with rocks; before leaving it, douse it with water and sand and stir thoroughly until it is cool enough to be sifted by hand). In Georgia's Chattahoochee National Forest, the streams rippled with trout (provided by the wildlife commissions), and the campsites, many with their own blacktop driveways, rippled with people. The rhododendron overhung the creeks in Minnesota's Lake Itasca State...

Kennedy apparently sensed that uneasiness, and revealed his own anxiety by motoring up to Capitol Hill for an extraordinary occasion: a drastically revised version of the State of the Union message that he had delivered only four months before. Last week's speech, while coolly received by Congress, had in it the possibilities for positive national progress. Urging more monies for military programs, foreign aid and civil defense (see following story), the President was on the right track. But it seemed odd that...
