...JACKIE KENNEDY watcher from way back, Boston Bureau Chief Gavin Scott was understandably skeptical about the story in the Boston Herald Traveler. After all, he says, "when I was in Madrid I covered a Jackie-and-Garrigues scare; when I was in London it was a Harlech scare." Now some headline writer seemed to be marrying Jackie off to Aristotle Onassis. Though the story sounded dubious, Scott was cautious enough to check it out. Soon he was on the phone to New York alerting the editors to this week's late-breaking cover story...
Within hours, TIME correspondents were going after the story in force. And in a year that has seen more than its share of grim news, their assignment offered a pleasant, if hectic, change of pace. A quick phone call to Rome sent Bureau Chief Jim Bell flying off to Athens. There, with the help of our stringer Mario Modiano, Bell chartered the only plane at the airport that was not controlled by either Onassis or the Greek government. He was taken for a look at Onassis' private island of Skorpios, and he is still frightened. "The pilot passed...
From Hong Kong to Paris to New York, TIME correspondents filed their contributions. In London, Bureau Chief Curt Prendergast tried to track down Lord Harlech; in Dublin, a stringer searched out the remaining Kennedy relatives.

Looking back, it seems almost inevitable that he became a political activist. As chairman of the Socialist Study Club at Illinois, Shanker devoted his extracurricular time to increasing attendance at club functions from an average of 15 to 500; he helped Socialist Norman Thomas draw a bigger crowd than either...
Accent on Leisure. In many cities, eager tenants fully lease new apartment projects before they are completed. The latest Census Bureau tabulation shows that rental vacancies in metropolitan areas fell to 4.9% during the first quarter of this year, the lowest level of the decade. The figure runs far lower in many places. One reason is the remarkable proliferation of huge apartment communities loaded with amenities for a leisure age. A swimming pool is no longer enough. In Houston, Developer Jenard Gross' latest 1,250-unit project will also have a shopping center, tennis courts, a gym and sauna...
