...failed to capture the spirit of the marchers. The general attitude transcended that of the painted teenyboppers: celery, crackers and candy bars being passed through the crowd; patient waiting at every corner; ten strangers huddling together under one umbrella. The high spirits of the march did not stem from a lack of seriousness but from the good feeling of representing important ideals...
...following morning, ten members of the family assembled at the site for a formal, unannounced ceremony. Jacqueline Kennedy arrived clutching a bouquet of lilies of the valley. Lyndon Johnson, invited by Bobby and Jacqueline Kennedy, shared his outsized umbrella with Bobby in the chill, driving rain.

In fact, his presence in the G.O.P. as a Senator offers more promise for positive change than anything he has yet said or written. And it will undoubtedly help re-establish the party's appeal to Negro voters ?some 70% of whom are now registered Democrats. Indeed in the South, where Democrats have wielded a segregationist whip for decades, Brooke's kind of liberal Republicanism could become a major stimulant to a G.O.P. revival among black...
