Rockefeller has sought with some success to collect Robert Kennedy's dispersed forces and thereby show his appeal across party lines. Last week, for example, he won endorsements from Martin Luther King Sr. and a number of other Negro leaders, including militants. He inveighs against the "Old Politics" and promises "new leadership" to appeal generally to voters groping for a guide. Just how effective that appeal can be was shown when a comely Illinois delegate told him during his visit to Chicago early in the week: "Governor, I'm a member of three minorities?I'm a woman, a Negro...
Still, Wong's jungle boot camp has been a partial success. So far, eight "graduates" have not reappeared in months; yet some orangs, like a young female named Joan, seem unable to make up their minds. She mated in the wild but came back to have her baby.

Some of the kids conceded that it was a success-although one insisted that he would rather have stayed home "huffin' butts and goin' to parties." But they had learned the advantages of cooperation and shared work. Each night the boys helped to dig the latrine or cook the chow; everyone put up tents. The kids did most of the planning too-wrote for permission to use recreational facilities, estimated provisions, got clothes ready. On the trip, there were warm receptions in river towns...
