...total income of $461,444, the Senator paid almost half-$217,844-in federal taxes. The bulk of the income, $418,004, came from four of the trust funds set up by the late Joseph P. Kennedy for his children. Two of these trusts, yielding taxable income of $340,427, were set up for Ted, while two others are his share of trusts originally established for his brother Joseph and sister Kathleen. After their deaths, the trusts were divided among the surviving Kennedy children. In addition to his Senator's salary of $42,500, Kennedy also earned...

This is a device untried on any scale in an urban setting," they warned, "and it may produce unforeseen problems, of appearance, reflected heat and glare...
Chautauqua Troupers. The transcripts posed a different problem for TV and radio. The text seemed to offer little chance for visual excitement, while its sheer bulk prohibited complete on-the-air coverage (some noncommercial radio stations across the country have been staging marathon readings, however). By Tuesday evening, just hours after the release, all three networks had produced sharp analyses of key presidential conversations, particularly the March 21 meeting between Nixon and Dean...
