Alone in his thoughts is Charles H. Percy, candidate for the United States Senate, during a civic club luncheon in Chicago, marking his first public appearance following the September 18 murder of his daughter, Valerie, 21. He used a biblical passage to explain his return to the campaign against Senator Paul H. Douglas. "There is a time to be born, a time to die, a time to dance and a time to mourn, a time to keep silent and a time to speak. Now is the time to speak," he said.
