Jackie's temporary home in Georgetown, built in 1805, was purchased by the Harrimans last spring from Pennsylvania's Governor William Scranton for $165,000. It has seven bedrooms, a dining room to seat 18, and a block-long terraced garden with fine old English boxwood, magnolia trees and a swimming pool. There Jackie will be surrounded by the paintings of Cezanne, Matisse, Van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec. Only three blocks away is the home where she lived for three years while her husband was a U.S. Senator...
...year-old girl, Bach Tri Nga, drenched herself with gasoline and touched a match to her skirts before the local residences of the International Control Commission, set up in 1954 to oversee Viet Nam's partition. A 22-year-old unemployed pedicab driver cremated himself half a block from the U.S. Ambassador's residence, and a young telephone operator followed suit (he left a note saying he had been rejected by his father).

The gallery, named the ARxerie, is dedicated to the uncontestable principle that every American home ought to have a real painting in that empty-looking place over the stereo set. Those who drive in are assured of finding art in every style, subject, size, color and medium, mostly bought...
...with offensive military potential. By giving the go-ahead to MOL, Defense has entered the realm of offensive capability without redefining its goals. Does McNamara's decision mean, for instance, that the United States will also consider the possibilities of manned space stations armed with nuclear warheads? A sizable block of Congressmen has urged that the United States pursue such programs. The Pentagon should not formulate its space goals in deference to the pleas of election-minded Representatives. Nor should it offer responsibility for a manned space project to the Air Force merely because the Air Force can no longer...
