...Inside Movie Publisher Myron Pass, who plans to run a picture and feature story on Caroline, done without the cooperation of the Kennedy family, in an upcoming fall issue. But Caroline is only nine? That won't matter, thinks Pass, to his largely teenage audience. Since the Manchester affair, he has found that Jackie's picture no longer sells, and Caroline is the only other female Kennedy who "has the magic." Then, too, she has been picking out her own clothes for six years now and, according to the shopkeeper at Lilly Pulitzer's boutique...

Six Communist guerrillas who defected because of the revelations about Be report discontent and disillusion among those who heard of Be's miraculous emergence.
