...Easy Man to Fire. Inevitably distorted by that same image of halos and high school heroes is Robert Sargent Shriver Jr., 47, director of the Peace Corps and brother-in-law of President Kennedy. He was once introduced on television as "the man known as Mr. Clean." He is so closely identified with the public's good-will-and-good-works vision of the Peace Corps that many people think he created the idea, sold it to the President, then dashed out in a blaze of idealism to make it work...

Audrey Hepburn sang "Happy Birthday"−and it was all, according to at least three different witnesses, "just awful...
...increasingly tolerant view of divorce. Adlai Stevenson was divorced, but he twice won the Democratic nomination for President-and there is little evidence that his broken marriage was a decisive factor in his defeat. Jackie Kennedy's parents were divorced and her mother remarried; her sister and brother-in-law were both divorcees when they married, and, in the eyes of the Catholic Church, are in fact not married...
