As McGovern monitored the battle on TV, he sat shoeless and tieless on a couch eating a T-bone steak and ice cream, and occasionally fondling his month-old baby grandson Matthew. At 3 that morning, Eleanor McGovern drove back to the Doral from the convention center; when she got there, she found that the candidate had gone to sleep...
...Newly admitted to the inner circle of the Labor Party's zameret (elite), the mellifluous-voiced diplomat has begun to soften his heavily starched image.

Japan's high command surrendered in aiguillettes and swords; General Douglas MacArthur accepted in tieless khaki. The authors point out that shortly before the 1968 Tet offensive. American fashion experts had designated fastidiously uniformed General William Westmoreland as one of the best-dressed American men. But the Sukhomlinovian verdict on Viet Nam is a curt "data incomplete...
POVERTY Misery of Vortex Bathed in the unforgiving harshness of massed TV lights, Senator Robert F. Kennedy pounded a table to still the chatter of shabby, tieless white folk crowded into the one-room schoolhouse at Vortex, Ky. The New Yorker, lowest-ranking Democrat on the Senate's Labor and Public Welfare Committee, had come to assess the plight of once proud Appalachian mountaineers who rank today among the poorest of America's poor...
