THE WEEK

Nelson Rockefeller says he doesn’t think that anybody is unbeatable. If he was referring to Kennedy in 1964, it may explain why the President wants a law authorizing federal contributions to political campaigns. After all, when you match a poor boy against a rich boy, everybody knows what usually happens.

Memo to an illiterate camel-driver: Friend, you have been abused. Good men who have felt the lash of Lyndon Johnson’s corral-bred tongue will tell you stories you didn’t hear down on the ranch. Good men who have asked the Vice President to give his views on questions he doesn’t care to answer will describe a type of hospitality you didn’t encounter in your tour of Washington at the side of the Second Lady. Patriots who wonder whether our country will drop into the gutter of history wearing top hat and tails and muttering phrases of high rhetoric, will tell you that the Great Badsha Kennedy wasted his time the other day chit-chatting with an illiterate international Judas goat: that the Soviet thrust in Berlin will not be met by popularity in the bazaars of Pakistan. Put that in your hookah and smoke it, friend.
