...least nine other Democrats and a single Republican, Senate Minority Leader Edward T. Hall, are vying for the job in a race that one of the candidates has likened to a cavalry charge. Agnew, returning last week from a Caribbean holiday and a visit with President Johnson in Washington, declared that he planned to steer clear, "as far as possible," of the impending donnybrook. Even Ambassador to France Sargent Shriver, a Maryland native, has been suggested as a possibility, but the Kennedy brother-in-law categorically disclaims interest.

The happy news at the Loeb this week is that director George Hamlin has seen to it that everything about his Promise is right; a production that could have been a fiasco (as this play was in its Broadway version last year) is an often chilling piece of theatre instead...
