...suite, the hotel and the McCormacks have grown into dignified and genteel old age together. The McCormacks never entertain and rarely go out in the evening. One party they never miss: the annual White House dinner in the Speaker's honor. Mrs. McCormack invariably wears the same black dress. The rest of the year, it is just the two of them. McCormack boasts that in more than 50 years, "we've never missed having dinner together." His wife, no longer spry at 85, is still eager to meet her husband for lunch or go for a drive with...
ONLY Edward Moore Kennedy knows exactly what happened from the time he left the cookout on Chappaquiddick last month until his black Oldsmobile sedan capsized off the Dike Bridge, taking Mary Jo Kopechne to her death at the bottom of Poucha Pond. From that moment until some time before he reported the accident at 9:30 a.m., according to Kennedy's televised accounting a week later, he was "overcome by a jumble of emotions."

...involved in the event-Edgartown Police Chief Dominick Arena and Associate Dukes County Medical Examiner Dr. Donald Mills-and the residents of Edgartown and Chappaquiddick. One of the latter is Christopher ("Huck") Look Jr., a part-time deputy sheriff, who can testify that he saw two people in a black car with the license prefix "L" (Kennedy's license plate was L-78207) heading for the Dike Bridge at approximately 12:45 a.m., an hour and a half after Kennedy said that he and Mary Jo had left for the ferry. Another is Russell Peachey, co-owner of Edgartown...

Further, her emphasis on civil rights seems to have confused at least some Irish Americans, who have so long been opposed to black militancy. Where Bernadette has scored most heavily is with the liberal wing of the U.S. Establishment, but it remains to be seen whether the basically conservative voters of Ulster will respond with comparable enthusiasm when -and if-she stands for reelection. That...
...Sudan's three rebellion-wracked southern provinces sprawl across the turbulent boundary line between the Arab world to the north and Black Africa to the south. It is in these provinces, where the grassy savannah meets the tropical forest, that the clash between the two worlds has been bloodiest. Africa's largest country in terms of area, the Sudan is dominated by the 9,000,000 Arabs of the north; the south's 4,000,000 blacks have long felt ignored by the Moslem politicians in Khartoum. In 1955, a year before the Sudan achieved independence, black...
