...about "the ghost or two"--the handful of fragile souls that Jarrell forsesaw clustering about his grave? Instead we have nothing less than the United States Cultural All-Star Team. Robert Lowell, John Berryman, John Crowe Ransom, Marianne Moore, James Dickey, Allen Tate, Robert Fitzgerald, Adrienne Rich, Elizabeth Bishop, Leslie A. Fiedler, Hannah Arendt, all take the podium...
Philadelphia: The Crusher A lackluster machine politician before the 1967 campaign began, Philadelphia's Mayor James Tate had both luck and organized labor on his side when election day rolled around. By chance, he had been in Tel Aviv during the six-day Arab-Israeli war last June; later he appeared in Rome when Philadelphia's Archbishop John Joseph Krol was installed as cardinal, thereby gaining overnight a statesmanlike image.

The Vice President had been turned on by two Go-Go girls whom he almost knocked over as he hurried into a $25-a-head cocktail party for Philadelphia's electioneering Mayor James Tate. Unflappable Campaigner Humphrey recovered his balance and shook hands with the two girls, who were clad only in black boots, tight red leotards and astonished expressions. "I was thunderstruck," said Joan Krauss, 23. "I'm not used to meeting Vice Presidents in my underwear...
