...Only because I wept so for John Kennedy, I have not enough tears to weep for Bobby Kennedy, for Martin Luther King, for the young men in Viet Nam, for the poor, for President Johnson and those others who today bear such heavy burdens and who, while still living, suffer character assassination. Or to weep for those of us who mistake anarchy for dissent and free speech or violence for justice...
...replicas of the derringer pistol as the dandy little model that killed "two of our country's Presidents, Abraham Lincoln and William McKinley." Another suggested: SUBMACHINE GUN FOR FATHER'S DAY?

Lyndon Johnson, who has more than once brooded late into the night with friends on the subject of violence, seemed shaken and visibly disturbed by the shooting in Los Angeles.

A sea lion named "Sandy" was regretfully banished after it began chasing guests. Ethel, now 40, never quite lost her sense of wonder...
...reviewing appointments, Ford must also bear the responsibility of balancing research with teaching. Faculty men have a predilection, as scholars, for research. Only a man who sympathized with this orientation could lead them. Ford's own books demonstrate a patience for technical and archival research; he has absorbed a mass of seventeenth and eighteenth century documents from Strasbourg. Paris, and Vienna in several dialects. Yet Ford, unlike other Faculty members, will not admit that scholarship is the only real criterion on which permanent appointments are based. He points out that ad hoc committees have rejected several departmental recommendations...
