...most often cited admirable acts of John Kennedy's presidency was the manly way he faced up to the humiliating rout of the CIA-backed troops that invaded Cuba at the Bay of Pigs in 1961. Offering no excuses, he took personal blame for the disaster even though he had inherited the plan from the Eisenhower Administration. But TIME has been told by credible sources that Kennedy did not accept the defeat all that gracefully. In anger, he and his brother Robert, then Attorney General, covertly ordered agencies of the U.S. Government to find some sure means of deposing...

...years ago. Walters tried not to let that friendship mar her reputation as a tough interrogator last week. Most of her questions were thoughtful and to the point, though she did not press Kissinger about his displeasure with the Israelis or probe his contention that Congress is largely to blame for South Viet Nam's fall. At one point, when Kissinger rephrased-and defanged-a Walters query about the validity of the domino theory, she cooed, "I like your questions much better than mine. They are clearer...
