...nomination last summer as a stand-in for Robert Kennedy, it was clear that he was gifted with more outspoken political courage than either Muskie or Ted Kennedy. (He was one of the first Senators, for one thing, to oppose the Viet Nam war-in 1963.) He might yet find an impressive constituency among the young, this time as the substitute for another Kennedy.

By 58% to 30%, the public felt that "he has suffered and been punished and should be given the benefit of the doubt."
