...even hard-rock Pennsylvania was irresistibly being engulfed by the Kennedy wave. Philadelphia's Bill Green, No. 2 boss in the delegation, let it be known that he was for Kennedy. One of Jack Kennedy's first acts on landing in Los Angeles was to dodge through the dim halls of the Biltmore to pay his respects to Lawrence...
...whatever resources for the government we feel are necessary. The Soviets may or may not continue to grow at a somewhat faster rate. But the prospects of their 'catching up' to us in total output of goods and services by 1970-or 1980 or 1990-are dim indeed.

And after exposing a photographic plate for two hours, he got his picture of two big galaxies in collision...
