Nobody has yet recorded the historically momentous fact that, as Mr. Rockefeller walked into the Senate chamber to be sworn in as Vice President, he tripped; and that as President Ford followed up the aisle, he tripped, apparently at the same spot. The TV crews were not alert enough to give us an instant replay, so we’ll never know if it was a loose rug or a Democrat with a leg out.
Among Senator Edward Kennedy’s plans is a visit to Cuba, where he will be photographed deep in diplomatic conversation with Fidel Castro. We have come a long way from his brother’s first foreign policy venture, at the Bay of Pigs. And where are we going? There are still some wise Washington observers who expect the 1976 Democratic convention to nominate Kennedy—with or perhaps without his urging.
