Iowa's Governor Herschel Loveless and Kansas' Governor George Docking trod the garden path to Jack's suite at the Biltmore, ready to ditch their own favorite-son commitments in time to throw their delegates onto the Kennedy train. But Loveless had heard rumors that Minnesota's Orville Freeman might be the chosen one, and suggested that the whole vice-presidential business be dropped so he could concentrate on running for the U.S. Senate. Jack Kennedy advised Loveless, who is 49, to keep himself in readiness. "It has to be a Midwesterner, Herschel," said Jack. "Just...
Edward Moore Kennedy, 28. "Teddy" is the youngest of the Kennedy boys, is a strapping (6 ft. 2 in., 200 Ibs.) athlete who followed the family path to Harvard ('54), handled the familiar end slot on the football team, passed lackadaisically through the University of Virginia law school before taking up Jack's cause. A tousle-haired, outgoing Ivy Leaguer, Teddy has more warmth than Jack, more humor than Bobby, and a rapidly maturing political skill.

...gonna be spectators, then let's get up in the stands where we belong." For Temple and his girls, the path to the 1960 Olympics has been paved with hard work and Spartan self-denial.

The cartoonists were still having trouble capturing their man, though they were trying hard (see cuts). But the big journalistic guns of the convention-the political columnists-all thought they knew Kennedy, and they liked what they saw. Joseph Alsop, who wears gloom like a toga, was very nearly radiant. "The Senator," he wrote, "has a peculiarly effective public personality, with a strong...
...parliamentary democracy in this country before the Labor Party was born," Bevan roared back: "There wasn't. There was a Parliament but not a democracy. Your people were here and mine were not." He had no patience with Labor's own indecisive Ramsay MacDonald, "treading his resolutionary path from conference to conference." He also had words for a young Scottish member named Jennie Lee, who could not make up her mind about socialism. Snorted Nye: "Why don't you get yourself to a nunnery and be done with it." By 1934 Jennie Lee had made...
