...back in 1956. But Billy has been elevated to special status by none other than his brother Jimmy ("a lot of substance to Billy"). Indeed, not since the Kennedys have we had a President who has so involved his family in official duties, sending wife, sons, daughter, mother, sister, cousin off to represent him. Some of Billy's earlier rednecking. Sister Ruth Stapleton's evangelizing, and commercial grabs by others have caused mild to middle embarrassment. Billy may now be a real issue...

The least familiar persona is Marx the philanderer. Here he is, at 43, unrestrainedly wooing his 24-year-old cousin during a fund-raising expedition to The Netherlands.

Lowly Houston, the mighty Cowboys' poor cousin in the American Conference, sported an identical record. Throughout the 28-team league, with the season nearly three-fourths over, the standings are closer than at any time since the 1970 merger with the American Football League. Before this week's action, only Los Angeles and Pittsburgh had managed to open modest leads in their divisions-two games. The Pack was back in contention, rekindling memories of the Vince Lombardi...
