...logical guess. Kennedy's big victory had produced a sinking feeling in the camps of his rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination. Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey withdrew from the race and hurried home to campaign for the Senate. Texas' Lyndon Johnson and Missouri's Stuart Symington, the candidates who had sidestepped the primaries, now had every reason to form a grand alliance. Each made the usual brave comments. Said Symington: "The primary will not be any more decisive than Wisconsin." Said Johnson: "The nation can start judging on the basis of merit." But nobody was fooled...
Negative factors worked for Jack Kennedy, too. Humphrey drew good crowds and held them like an evangelist, but he just could not get across the idea that he was a serious presidential candidate.

During the past year, Symington said, he had made more speeches about agriculture and economics than about defense...
...Pistol are all good, and John Heffernan's Shallow something better. The time-honored comic scenes keep their blend of rust and magic. The royal scenes, full of a rhetoric that needs a humanizing voice, fare a good deal less well. But where humor and humanity cooperate. Stuart Vaughan's staging is dynamic, and the two parts of Henry IV play a rewarding part in a largely unrewarding theatrical season...
