While our correspondents on campuses contributed much to the story, many key interviews were handled by Education Reporter Peter Babcox. At his alma mater, Columbia College (Class of '60), he taped the thoughts of Rebel Student Leader David Shapiro during a taxi ride to Queens, where the Phi Beta Kappa poet was to give a reading. Later, Peter sat in on a midnight bull session with students in Buffalo, then drove the next morning to State College, Pa., with Sociologist Edgar Friedenberg, interviewing him en route. Babcox ended his school swing in a talk with a Penn State senior...
...automatically succeeded Kerner, who took a federal judgeship. In February, Chicago's Mayor Dick Daley, the state's chief Democratic potentate, picked Shapiro to run this fall in Kerner's place, and it seemed to many that the party was abandoning any real hope of keeping the governorship.

He convicted the state public-welfare director for neglect of duty...
...Shapiro's probable foe this fall is Cook County Board President, Richard Ogilvie, a Republican who outpolls Daley in his own domain. But Shapiro ran the state at least 50 days a year during Kerner's term, handling mine cave-ins and prison riots; when Kerner was off heading the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, Shapiro was acting Governor for 101 days. He got Chicago through the trauma following Dr. Martin Luther King's death, and has already traveled up and down the state. "I'm gonna campaign," Shapiro said, "because I'm gonna...
