...Death of a President, which has been awaited as the authoritative account of the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas. The late President's family carefully hand-picked both the author and the publisher-neither of whom had sought the assignment-and offered them exclusive access to information and key figures, hoping thereby to avoid "distortion and sensationalism" and produce a sober, low-key retelling of the events of Nov. 22, 1963.

Counties sometimes cannot build schools fast enough to accommodate the influx of people. There are always disputes about who should pay for access roads to the new city.

In eleven years, he told the Notre Dame Conference on Population last week, the number rose...
...Basically, Chile and Zambia want to reduce their vulnerability to copper's wild price fluctuations. The swings have been made especially violent by demand and supply uncertainties resulting from strikes and, not least, the tension between Zambia itself and Rhodesia, which has virtually cut off Zambia's access to the sea. Similar price agreements have been made-and broken-before. Chile and Zambia have gone a step further, with plans for mutual trade programs and other economic ties...
