...police reported finding no evidence that alcohol or drugs were involved. They cited Kennedy for negligent driving and ordered him to appear at a court hearing this week. For Pamela Kelly, however, the agony was just beginning. The Coast Guard flew her to Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis, where three specialists summoned by the Kennedy family tried for three hours to repair the damage. By the end of the week she began to have some feeling in one of her legs, an encouraging sign. But doctors said it would be several weeks before they would know whether she could ever...
...Adults. As a way of inspiring group members, T.A. therapists usually make "contracts" with them to achieve specific goals like giving up alcohol or such amorphous ones as "to get more OK," "to be able to give myself to others" or "to exercise more control over my Parent." One far-out leader shouts, "You're OK!" to his groups, and another asks members to clasp hands in a circle dance while singing Ding, Dong, the Witch Is Dead. Harris, who now does more teaching and training than therapy, usually begins his lectures with a few jokes to loosen things...
Alan suffers from frail misconceptions of himself and love and fame. His emotions play second fiddle to his career, even while he's in the hospital.

...speech too ungrammatical, for Martha. The impostor went on to confess: "I am half drunk-I do drink a little bit. Why shouldn't I drink a little bit?" Anyone who has received a call from Martha Mitchell knows that she consistently denies having downed a drop of alcohol before getting on the phone. The impersonator said she had attended the state dinner for Soviet Leader Leonid Brezhnev the night before (actually, Martha was at her Manhattan apartment), and expressed genuine fondness for Pat Nixon (who, in point of fact, has infuriated Martha). Strangest of all, the woman offered...
Died. George F. Getty II, 48, eldest of the four children of Billionaire J. Paul Getty, and second in command of the Getty Oil empire; of an overdose of barbiturates combined with alcohol; in Los Angeles. Named after his wildcatting grandfather, Getty began serving in the company outposts after W.W. II, and by 1958 had been named president of the Tidewater Oil Co., a Getty subsidiary. When Tidewater merged with the parent company nine years later, Getty was installed as vice president and chief operating officer of the enlarged firm...
