Kennedy uses personal touch in New Hampshire
By ELLEN GOLD Special to the Kansan
CONCORD, N.H. — As the New Hampshire skies obligantly poured their first big snow of the winter, the Secret Service gave me a glimpse of the city as it covered Sen. Edward Kennedy's campaign.
Amidst the piles of duffel bags, television cameras and lights I recognized a few faces.
Two seats in front of me was Robert Schram, Kennedy's lieutenant; the writer, Warren President Carter and who wrote President Carter and quit, disturbed by Carter's apparent lack of ideological concep- tion.
The skinny blonde across the isle turned out to be Cassie Mackin of ABC, and surprisingly, in the front seat next to 12-year-old Patrick Kennedy, sat the senator
himself. He was riding on the press bus today.
OUR FIRST STOP was in a middle class neighborhood similar to the 7000 block of Crosby Road, where few reporters were invited inside, the entire corps of media personnel eventually drifted away.
When I finally caught sight of Kennedy, his hands were full of baseballs, which he had been using all day. He more like a proud father than a baseball player, explained the team's record to the senator.
About 35 people met me signing:
About 15 people gathered at Kennedy while an equal number of reporters munched hot doughnuts and coffee.
The atmosphere was informal and personal, typical of the New Hampshire campaign strategy that brings candidates before small groups of voters or one on one.
The next stop was at Royal Crest Estates, an apartment complex where about 200 people turned out.
"When my campaign started in New Hampshire," Kennedy told them, "I promised you snow, and you've got it 'tov'."
The crowd cheered.
AFTERWARD, I ASKED some in the crowd whether they were Kennedy supporters or celebrity watchers. They seemed uncertain.
Some said they had just come to see Kennedy, others said they were supporters. Some said they had voted for John and
Hatchet's raunch-and-roll boring, yet satisfies sell-out Hoch crowd

it's hard to understand why, but they loved it. About 4,000 people crammed into their hotel rooms and were blown away by the loud and often monotonous music of southern rock 'n' roll.
Hatchet, a six-member group from Jacksonville, Fla., played a one-hour set and two encounters of their biggest hits and the acumen of its means of the crowd that immediately leveled it.

Review
Danny Joe Brown screamed his way through the lyrics, made unrecognizable by the distorted sound of the four Hatchet guitarists.
The group claims to play "aggressive, meaningful rock 'n' roll with no foolish restraints."
AGGRESSIVE IS APPLICABLE and if it was meaningful to the fanatical crowd. Boring also fits the group, for persons unfamiliar with Hatchet. His music was characterized by the consistently dull sound played by the full range of his gravel-like voice.
There were no restraints on the volume or the limits of their gutter-lower remarks because they were so large. They dope and boose, Brown seemed more interested in getting loaded than in singing his own song.
The four guitarists used a minimal light show and constant movement onstage to distract the audience from the sound of their musicians. The musicians only further distorted their sound.
The crowd came to life early as the group opened with a three-song set, highlighted by "It's All Over Now."

renditions of several rock standards ended the evening.
Southern rock superstars Llydryn Skynerd and the Allman Brothers Band often are compared with Hatchet. The comparisons are a loke.
Hatchet gave those attending their more formal roar; Kurt pursuits, however, wouldn't let Molly stand on the stage for the Allman Brothers or Skyridn, much less put them in the same room.
The warm-up band, Missouri, was not much better, and set the tone for the forgettable night of raunch-and-roll.
Missouri comes from the same mold of
"talk tough, play loud and make money"
The only difference is the smaller scale.
After wading through three new songs, the Hatchet fans were treated to several legitimate hits. Included were "Walk Like A Man" and "Sunscreen Girl."
But the young crowd roared with delight after every song, cheering heartily after the Missouri suit and the Hatchet headliner. Who knows why?

One woman discussed at length the choices besetting some New Hampshire residents—her husband liked Ronald Reagan, she leaned toward George Bush,
her daughter-in-law wanted to support John Andersen but wondered whether her mother would mind, and the son wanted to vote for John Connally.

The bus next stopped at another home. While Kennedy answered questions inside, the camera crew, reporters, and Patrick Kennedy had a furious snowball fight.
When the senator emerged, his son threw a snowball at him. Kennedy bent down and returned the volley, which sent the television crew scrambling for their

delay, and attempted to point out the differences between the Carter and the Kennedy energy policies.
The Kennedy administration would not depend on any nuclear power, he said. The statement was greeted with a ripple of approval.
On the issue of gun control, Kennedy mustered a bit more response.
Saying that he would not interfere with the use of long guns or sport pistols, he said he had taken a firm stand against Saturday demonstrations and small concealable weapons.
"I have introduced legislation and I'm not going to retreat on it," he said. "My family's been touched by violence and other families have."

He was interrupted by applause, and continued.
THE ISSUE SHOULD work for Kennedy—even people who don't agree with his stand can understand why he would take that position.
He worked toward an applause line, but could not quite pull it off. The audience listened but did not respond.
But Kennedy was only intermittently successful at inspiring his audiences.
"Are there certain groups in our society who are getting a free ride exploiting the business people with unconscious profits in the oil and gas industry?" he asked. "Why isn't it that we are exploited?"
