...did???to the extent of an Army captain named Clyde W. Jennings of Lynchburg, Va., a handbag salesman in civilian life. Arie Beall gave them a big bang-up wedding in Pine Bluff, and they settled down in New York City's Forest Hills, known Before Martha as the site of the national tennis championship matches. But Clyde was on the road a good deal, the marriage failed, and they were divorced after eleven years. Their one child, Jay, is now a 23-year-old second lieutenant in the Tank Corps...
Precisely what he did???and did not do ?about the accident might have been cleared up by the long-delayed publication of the inquest record.

Kennedy has been drinking more heavily since his brother was murdered last year, but he is far from being a drunkard. He has been quite sober at several parties where liquor flowed freely...
...Occidental, his wife Carol, two years his senior, remembers him as a strait-laced type who neither drank nor smoked?and once wrote a poem urging her to give up cigarettes. She did???only to see him succumb. Until he took his present job, where he feels he has to set an example, he was smoking three packs...
