...Real Issue." Well aware that defeat in West Virginia's popularity poll (it has no binding effect on delegates) would be interpreted as a death notice, Kennedy switched from the white-glove tactics he had used in Wisconsin. In a three-day foray he struck at Humphrey as a "hatchet man" who could not win the nomination himself but was "being used" by Texas' Lyndon Johnson and Missouri's Stuart Symington in a "stop-Kennedy" gang-up. Retorted Humphrey: "He's acting like a spoiled juvenile...

...Beautiful Afternoon. The three-day vacation trip was a special outing, particularly for Lillian Getting, who had spent long days and nights nursing her heart-patient husband through a tough recuperation period.

There was Texas' own Lyndon Johnson, majority leader of the U.S. Senate and favorite son of a nearly solid South, campaigning unofficially for the Presidency deep in the heart of New York City. Technically his three-day invasion of the North began with rounds of luncheons, speeches and conferences in Chicago, but Johnson did not really hit his stride until he got to New York, center of what he sometimes calls "Northern bigotry."
