...shopping centers, on city street corners, in village squares, at campus rallies, with the wind whipping his hair and the venturesome plucking at his clothes, Kennedy has had a difficult time getting across philosophy and pro-rams. In more formal settings and quiet interviews, he has been relatively specific (see box). In Indiana and Nebraska, perhaps fearing a backlash, he emphasized law and order to white audiences?but never failed to mention Negro needs as well. Nor does he shrink from challenging an audience.

"A pop song should have a lyric that's basically a poem," Webb says. "If people get the feeling, then the lyric is successful-whether they know what I'm talking about or not." Typical of his personal and provocative imagery is Mac Arthur Park...
