...Kennedy often seems to be trying to accommodate himself to as broad a range of views as possible. Sometimes he sounds much like a New Frontier liberal. To Wall Street investors in New York, and again at a rally in Louisville, he said that Americans "are not asking much from Government," and then went on to define "not much" as jobs, moderate supermarket prices, reasonable mortgage rates, good schools, a healthy environment and safe streets. Providing all that in today's world economy is quite an order, even for a pragmatist. On other occasions, Kennedy has seemed to be harking...
...hearing continued for two hours, until the wall buzzer sounded and the stars on the clock lit up, signaling a roll call vote on the Senate floor. Kennedy recessed the hearing and walked briskly down the long corridor, with Secret Service agents brushing aside people ahead of him. Photographers, TV crews and aides carrying briefing books followed close behind. But Kennedy shed most of them at the private elevator for Senators...
...Prison, near Carson City. "He looked as if he were ready to go to a disco," recalls TIME's Guy Shipler, one of 14 official witnesses.

On a given morning, you can glimpse him through his open door, feet up, talking shop with an attentive colleague, while smoking an carly-morning cigar that would make Red Auerbach choke. He's got an incongruous poster of fish species on one wall of his office, and Einstein up on another; a pair of cross country skis stand in a corner. Behind him rests a picture of the first observed "charmed quark"--a species he originally identified--at which he smiles affectionately. This is the odd couple that has made brilliant, complementary contributions...
...Brown comeback began with 2:50 left in the half, with Millard punting from the Harvard 18-yd. line. Brown's Don Place violated the Crimson protective wall and solidly blocked the punt--too solidly, it turned out. The ball rebounded all the way out of the Harvard end zone for a safety instead of stopping where Brown could have recovered for a TD. The half closed with the Crimson leading by a score more familiar to Fenway than football...
