With the publication in last Friday's Boston papers of an advertisement signed by sixteen Massachusetts academicians (including eleven from Harvard) supporting Ted Kennedy, such a situation has become a sad reality. The statement on behalf of Kennedy spends most of its 500 words mis-interpreting the positions of Teddy's Republican opponent, George Lodge, and directing the voter's attention to the youngest Kennedy's potential to rubber-stamp his brother's every wish in Congress. It pleads, in effect: "Re-elect John F. Kennedy United States Senator so he can be more effective President...
...Incidents." Sixteen hours later, about 180 miles northeast of the Bahamas,, the destroyers John R. Pierce and Joseph P. Kennedy Jr.* took up stations behind a Russian-chartered Lebanese freighter named the Marucla (built in Baltimore during World War II). At daybreak on Friday, in a scene reminiscent of the 19th century, the Kennedy lowered away its whaleboat and sent a boarding party aboard the Marucla, which cooperatively provided a ladder.

Lodge is not so pessimistic: he travels sixteen hours a day to close the Kennedy lead. The Lodge-Hughes debates are part of Lodge's simple strategy of achieving maximum exposure. Anyone in Harvard Square can tell you that Lodge can only lose (and has) in open debate with the devastatingly alert Independent. But Lodge is convinced that Hughes will pull votes from Kennedy on domestic issues. Lodge is fighting for the independent and marginal Democratic vote, including unreconciled McCormack supporters. Since Curtis supporters have nowhere else to go, the word Republican has been deleted from the Lodge campaign. Lodge...
