...could see," Miss Keller once said, "I would marry first of all." But she did not feel that her life was a limited one. "Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times. But it is vague, like a breeze among flowers. The wind passes, and the flowers are content... I believe that all through these dark and silent years God has been using my life for a purpose I do not know. But one day I shall understand, and then I will be satisfied...
Dividing Equity. Eugene McCarthy and Robert Kennedy have, in fact, just about divided Actors' Equity between them (see box). There have been some notable crossovers. Gene has lured Rob ert Vaughn (The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) from touch-football games at Hickory Hill, while Bobby has corralled Carol Channing, who warbled her way into the White House with Hello, Lyndon! in 1964. Artists, writers and other intellectuals are also pretty evenly divided between the two. Bobby has a corner on famed athletes.

Then, while cruising to Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia, there will be a recital by the Amadeus Quartet and Jean-Pierre Rampal, the flutist. Then on to Catania, Naples and Cannes, where Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli will give...
...ideas. Then he began to act. Farmers were killing pigs to dramatize their desire for higher prices; Stokes got them to donate the hogs to a project dubbed "Operation Pork Chop," which distributed 60 tons of free meat to Cleveland's poor. He launched town-hall meetings to touch people for volunteer work at city hall. He bewitched the audience of Captain Cleveland, a kiddie video show advocating good citizenship. His biggest decision was to call the first planning session for a major, long-term effort to revitalize the city. By last week, his $1.5 billion "Cleveland: Now!" campaign...
