...Anson, suggests that Kennedy was the victim of a CIA-Mafia conspiracy. The first printing: 250,000 copies. Television and radio talk shows focus on the Warren Report-and question it. Shown three times on ABC-TV, the shocking color movie of the shooting taken by Amateur Photographer Abraham Zapruder has jarred millions of viewers into a renewed awareness of the brutal event...
...have become increasingly political of late. She has her own loyalists in the government and has reportedly influenced political appointments, thereby leading Filipinos to refer to "his" and "her" governments in Malacanang Palace. As manager of the city, she faces problems that rival those of New York's Abraham Beame. Floods during the rainy season annually cause millions of dollars in property losses; equally damaging fires break out regularly during dry months.

Their own arguments about New York are designed to bring it back into the fold, to identify it as strongly as possible with the rest of America, and to describe it in the smallest, least intimidating terms possible. "We need not a handout," Carey complained bitterly last month, "but the recognition by the Federal Government that we are a part of this country."
