Kennedy Still Avoids Senate Colleagues After Tragedy
Senator Edward M. Kennedy, seven weeks after Robert Kennedy's assassination, remains secluded in Hyannis Port and refuses to face Senate colleagues. He signals possible neutrality in the Democratic presidential race while leaning toward policy positions on Vietnam and cities. Kennedy aides debate whether he should accept a role on Humphrey's ticket or steer the party toward his late brother's and McCarthy's positions. He spends time with families, counsels widows and orphans, sails on a 60-foot yawl, and travels between Hyannis Port, New York, and Washington for documents and potential crucial votes.
