...remains to be seen whether Harvard can ever approach Yale's accomplishment of four national championships and ten runner-up finishes. But the Crimson squad is clearly on its way to becoming a real force in collegiate swimming...
Kennedy promptly took off on a three-day campaign blitz of seven cities, extending from Manchester, N.H., to Charleston, S.C. He drew large crowds, including the same kind of squealers, jumpers and touchers who used to flock to Jack. But tragedy has tempered his approach.

No liberal council candidate has ever run as well as David Sullivan, who appealed in large part to the new voters--students and tenants in particular. Sullivan waged a traditional campaign--pressing the flesh, ringing the doorbells--and he built up a large network of volunteers independent of the CCA. The trend is obvious down the line.
