...Texas, I had 13-think of it-13 scheduled meetings with various groups [political, ethnic and labor factions, some at odds with others]. Well, now we've got an organization going in Texas. We're going to win Texas. You know how a town looks after a cyclone has passed through? Well, that was what we looked like in California. New York? Not even Bobby Kennedy could put that together.

Kawabata, 69, stepped into the limelight calmly. "I feel I am very lucky," he told the caller who brought the news. "It is a great honor." Later, he showed concern that "too great a fuss" might be made. "For authors," he said, "honors can some times become unbearable burdens...
