...Senator Kennedy and all the others at the party both before and after the accident," said Dinis. He wants to explore not only the immediate questions surrounding the fatal accident but also the larger discrepancies in Kennedy's public accounting of that night. The district attorney will call the ferrymen who carried Kennedy and his friends back and forth from Edgartown to Chappaquid dick, the owner of the Shiretown Inn, where the Senator was staying, and the local manager of the New England Telephone Co., whose records may disclose what calls the members of the Kennedy party had made...
...retreat from the determinedly avantgarde position adopted last May by the council's own international Consultation on Racism (TIME, June 6), which favored church support of antiracist revolutionary movements and compensation for those "exploited" by capitalism. But in addition to its $500,000 allocation, the committee did call on member churches to give "a significant portion of their total resources to orga nizations of the racially oppressed."

...bones belonged to an extinct primate that paleontologists call Ramapithecus (the Latin word for ape, with a bow to the Indian god Rama).

At a hearing called by the State Public Service Commission to investigate complaints of poor service, witnesses railed about everything from Manhattan's grossly overloaded Plaza 8 exchange to pay telephones in which the only working parts seem to be the coin slots. William Payson, president of the advertising firm of Avery, Hand...
...Harry does the cooking and the mending, he sometimes sulks like a put-upon housewife. Charlie is the male partner, as it were, and with a certain oafish, masculine crudity he does things like cut his toenails in bed. But his basic role is to nag at Harry and call him (her) a "twit." Be it ever so hurtful, there is no place like home, and in its pathetic way the Charlie-Harry relationship is a bad marriage that works. The law threatens to sever it. Charlie has been apprehended doing a transvestite turn in a gay club, and must...
