...just as rigged. In Mississippi, with a Negro population of 42%, only three of the 44 delegates selected to go to Chicago are Negroes. Civil Rights Leader Charles Evers, one of the three, has resigned and plans to challenge the delegation at the convention.

So last week the old guard retreated. For the first time since the 1870s, Mississippi's party chiefs decided to admit Negroes to a statewide caucus that will meet at Jackson on July 2 to select 48 convention delegates and 24 alternates.

...lesser of at least two evils. It is also a confession of deep political unwellbeing. Even as he announced his candidacy, the junior Senator from New York looked less like a future President than ever before. He has set a nearly impossible goal for himself in trying to unseat an incumbent President, but the realization of that goal will not assure Kennedy of the nomination. As long as President Johnson remains a major influence, he will be in a good position to veto a least one candidate, and he will surely use his veto on his old friend Robert Kennedy...
