...Kansas last March, Kennedy told reporters that Governor George Docking stood "near the top" of any list of vice-presidential choices, and Kennedy pointedly declined to name any others who were as "outstanding" as the Kansan.

...unchallenged contender for the Republican presidential nomination, with the blessing of the man he hopes to succeed in the White House. No doubtful primary elections impeded his path of progress toward the Republican National Convention in July; no serious rivals for his party's top honor stood in his way. But last week, twelve weeks before the convention, Dick Nixon's command of the situation was a questionable honor: it left him fighting almost single-handed against the combined offensives of all the Democrats, and fighting at the same time to keep some good order and discipline...

At one point, three girls stood on the wide barre casually doing deep knee bends while three male members of the company lying beneath them mirrored the action in reverse. Choreographer Graham's part in the whole thing consisted of sulking behind a screen, emerging occasionally to freeze the whip-flicking ballet master with gaunt...
