RELIGION. The problem has passed its peak, but, says Bobby, "it could peak again." Hard-boiled Kennedyites run a continual poll on the Catholic vote, know that Jack's confrontation by the Houston Protestant ministers (TIME, Sept. 26) helped them with Nixon-minded Northern Catholics-and know that a fall-off of interest in religion will weaken them in the same area.

He began to chase chorus girls so enthusiastically that friends changed his nickname from Chiffy to Chippy. There is evidence that he forged a check to finance one of his expeditions, and he slept through most of his classes at the U. of P. But apparently the boy could learn in his sleep long before the hypnopaedia boom, and he had a trick memory besides. With these weapons he stole a passing grade...
