...Ellen Rossen, 27, daughter of late Film Director Robert Rossen. Ellen and Burton got to know each other during the making of Daddy's epic Alexander the Great, released in 1956. Other meetings followed. Apparently Teen-Ager Ellen was a welcome backstage visitor when Dick starred in Camelot on Broadway in the early '60s. With Liz gone, Ellen has told friends, Dick really needs someone to talk to. So a couple of days before he was due to sail, Ellen, who is a writer-producer for a syndicated television news service, stepped up to her boss...
Harvard-graduated politicians had it pretty good during the glory days of Camelot. From the Kennedy brothers on down they enjoyed a special sort of respect during the early part of the 60s: People admired them for their style and grace, and not least of all for their intelligence.

This will be his second, her first marriage...
...higher reality was at hand, but like a burst of light in a dark room, it proved to be illusory. Poverty programs, free universities and Camelot gave way to Kent State, Cambodia and urban terrorism. The toll of death and deterioration set in: The Kennedys, King, Dak To, Khe Sanh, Watergate. The clenched fist replaced the V sign as idealists turned cynical. Dylan and his followers withdrew into a more personal and private world. After a near-fatal motorcycle accident in 1966, Dylan moved to his home in Woodstock, N.Y., and switched from participant to observer to chronicle the halcyon...
