contradict his on-the-spot
judgments.
This much, then, Of the SEN
ator's performance was the re-
suit Of careful preparation.
What was left to chance?
There was no way, of course,
to know exactly what questions
would be asked or what answers
Mr.. Nixon would give.
That is where 'luck" or
"shrewdness" entered. In all
four debates, the Senator was
not asked a single substantive
question that had not been
covered in the days briefing.
A few. queries were unantici-
pated for example, the one
asking him to name his choice
for Secretary of State - but
these were questions the SEN
ator had no intention Of an
swering.
The other bit Of "luck" was
the Vice Presidents perform
ance. Senator Kennedy's brief
ing team played the hunch that
Mr.. Nixon would use the same
arguments on television that
he had used in his speeches
around the country: in other
words. that he had no tricks
up his sleeve. And in this
regard. too. they say, there
were no surprises.
AS a result. the arguments
he had to rebut were exactly
those Senator Kennedy was
primed to deal with.

in viewpoints as he was in facts.

died specific assignment in
their special field and then
dropped out of the picture.
But a bakers dozen moved into
Offices on L street, just of
Connecticut avenue. and toiled
for the duration Of the cam
paign.
Material for Debates
Their output provided the
raw material for the Senator's
speeches. for policy statements
from the Democratic National
Committee, for television
spots" and-when they came
along-for the Great Debates.
Two days in advance of each
debate. Mr.. Feldman would
tuck a stack of briefing papers
under his arm and fly off to
join Senator Kennedy on the
campaign trail.
Then, for three or four hours
on the day of the debate. the
Senator would closet himself
with Mr.. Feldman, Ted Soren-
sen, his closest adviser and
chief speech-writer, and Dick
Goodwin, Mr.. Sorensen's chief
aide, for an intensive rehearsal
of the debate.
Most of the effort went into
answers for the questions they
anticipated. The Senator
knew the points he wanted to
argue, but he would turn to the
other three for the facts he
needed to support his claims:
How much was the United
States broadcasting to Cuba?
How many students from Al
RIGA were studying in this
country? How much surplus
food had accumulated in Gov
ernment warehouses in the last
eight years? What was the
party breakdown in the House
vote on the housing bill?
Answers Available
For each question, there was
an answer available either in
Mr.. Feldman's stack Of brief
ing papers or from one of the
dozen Washington research
aides, standing by for a phone
call from the Senator's hotel
suite.
HE (Kennedy) didn't come
UP with one question that we
couldn't answer for him before
the broadcast" Mr.. Feldman
recalls.
Many of the queries, of
course. concerned Mr.. Nixon's
statements and stands on the
issues. and there were referred
to Mrs. Edna Evans, the COM
piler and keeper Of the "Nixo-
pedia." This was a topical index
of all the Vice Presidents
policy views, and by election
day it ran to 1000 pages Of
single-spaced information.

On Monday evening, Septem-
ber 26, Senator John F. Ken
nedy and Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon slid into a pair
Of modernistic chairs on the
starkly barren stage of a CHS
studio in Chicago. The second
hand of the studio clock swept
around to the top, and the most
decisive hour of the 1860 presi-
Dental campaign-the first of
the great debates was at
hand.
In the next 60 minutes, judg-
ing by all the postmortems on
the election, Senator Kennedy
achieved an advantage over his
rival that stood up long enough
to yield a narrow victory Tues
day.
His triumph. it appears, was
a compound of his physical ap-
pearance. the assurance and
, confidence with which he spoke
and his mastery of factual de-
tail on each Of the subjects on
which he was questioned.
Carefully Laid Plan
For his good looks, the Sena-
tor has only nature to thank.
But his fund of knowledge and
the self-assurance it lent him
were the product. not of chance,
but Of carefully designed and
hitherto-unpublicized plan.
There was an element of
luck in the success of the ef-
fort, but it was the kind of
luck that is 80 per cent shrewd-
ness and 10 per cent good for
tune.
The Kennedy TV performance
had its beginning back in July,
right after he won the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination.
One of the Senator's first
actions was to assign the legis-
lative assistant from his Sem
ate staff. Myer mike Field
man. to set up a research team
for the campaign.
Joined Staff in 81
Mr.. Feldman, a soft-spoken
scholar who taught for a time
at American University Law
School, had Joined the Kennedy
staff in 1857. just about the
time the Senator launched his
unannounced presidential cam
paign. Before that, Mr.. Field
man had served as executive
assistant to the chairman of
the Securities and Exchange
Commission and counsel of the
Senate Banking and Currency
Committee.
Mr.. Feldman's new job was
to prepare a "brieflng paper"
on every issue that might arise
during the campaign. Some
were obvious-defenSe, agri-
culture. foreign aid, etc.-but
by the time the list was COM
pleted it stretched to 200
topics.
On each topic the Senator
would want to know the record
of the Eisenhower administra-
tion. of congressional Republic
cans and Democrats, and OF
Mr.. Nixon. the major proposals
that had been made and the
strengths and weaknesses OF
each.
Deadline Set
10 De OF use, the brlehnR
papers would have to be ready
by Labor Day, when the CAM
paign hit high gear.
Looking back now" Mr..
Feldman says, cit seems like a
massive undertaking" To ac-
complish it. he raided the best
brains of several Democratic
Senators stats, plus a number
of law firms and research or
ganizations.
The group he assembled in
cluded several Rhodes scholars
and more PhD.'s than he could

Sistently the most successful of
the minor tracks, will need to

provements within the next
several years" 9
The mile tracks come in for
a spanking. too.
"The present mutual antago-
nism and distrust among the
mile tracks is detrimental to
the orderly conduct and the
quality Of Maryland racing. II
this situation Is not remedied,
the State ought to take any
steps necessary" 1.-THE committee
says.
For the milers, the commit
tee suggests q return to eight
races instead Of nine except for
Saturdays and holidays, saying
none Of the tracks proved that
nine events have produced in
creased wagering. The reason
ing Is that with eight races
larger purses could be pro-
vided.
The question Of night racing
was handled gingerly. It
would be difficult to phrase a
weaker Endorsement of night
racing than the committee s
lit would not necessarily be
detrimental to the State to al
low a private interest to ex-
pertinent with night racing at
its own risk and at its own
expense with no financial or
other responsibility whatso-
ever to be borne in any way
by the State"
BY way Of suggestion, the
committee advocated the drop
ping Of split meetings at the
milers as now employed by
Pimlico and Laurel. But this
looks like a problem without a
solution as long as Pimlico
wants to run the Preakness in
May and Laurel the Interna-
tional in November. Pimlico,
completely winterized. is un-
derstandably opposed to giving
up its late fall dates to Laurel.
Another highpoint that sur
prised even the Maryland

This would provide larger
purses for home state horses

All in all, the report should
