JFK GOES TO THE THEATER ON HIS TWO

NIGHTS IN NEW YORK, proclaimed a Manhattan ticket broker in an ad last week, adding the suggestion that it would be a mighty nice thing if everybody did as Jack did. True enough, John Kennedy had dropped in for a performance of the musical comedy Do Re Mi--but that occasion was perhaps the least restless of his breakneck week. Winging about to Massachusetts, Manhattan, Washington and Florida, he examined reports from nine study groups, announced a score of appointments, went fishing, played golf, worked on his inaugural address--and came out of it all appearing eager for more.

The frantic days began when Kennedy flew to Boston to attend a meeting of Harvard Board of Overseers. Virtually mobbed by students in the Yard, Kennedy quipped: "I am here to go over your grades with Dr. Pusey, and I'll protect your interests." In a few hours he was off to New York, and the morning after, to Washington for conferences. Arriving in Palm Beach with his brother-in-law Peter Lawford and Democratic National Committee Moneybags Matt McCloskey, Kennedy bored into the myriad details that he had to get out of the way by Jan. 20: more conferences, more reports, more telephone calls, more conferences.

Early this week, with the decks presumably cleared, Kennedy planned to fly to Washington for a party at the home of his sister Jean, to New York for another round of meetings, and then by midweek back to the capital. His exhausted camp followers could only hope that he would stand still long enough to get himself sworn in as the President of the U.S.
