...figure indicated that Nixon might not get as big a vote from big business the next time around. Though the President won handily in a test runoff against Senator Edward Kennedy, 89% to 6%, and Hubert Humphrey, 85%-14%, he lost the support of 10% when paired with Senator Edmund Muskie. Nixon would get 74% of the executives' votes, compared with Muskie's 23%. Harris concluded that "today's grumblings about the President could turn into massive disenchantment." As much as anything else, that will depend on how well Nixon manages the Administration's economic policy...
...still surround the case or to resolve the doubts about Kennedy's veracity. It also failed to account for local officials' inept handling of the case from beginning to end. Police Chief Dominick Arena never asked Kennedy why he had not reported the accident for nine hours. District Attorney Edmund Dinis seemed noticeably reluctant to enter the case at all, then pressed belatedly?and vainly?for court permission to exhume Mary Jo's body so that an autopsy could be performed. His questions throughout the inquest were somewhat less than probing. Justice Boyle's handling of the inquest findings...
...straightforwardly facile, Mrs. Romm's commentary describes thoroughly- at times, sensationally- the development and growth of the radical movement during the past five years.

Thus, she writes, life is becoming macabre and grotesque as men sense frighteningly that their spell-binding super-technology, with its awesome unworking complexity, is rendering them helpless. And men, baffled by this technology, turn to cults...
...automatic rifles to the Cambodian army. Senator William Fulbright's Foreign Relations Committee sought an explanation from Secretary of State William Rogers-and then, without waiting for his promised testimony this week, ordered two staff members to go to Cambodia to investigate any U.S. involvement. Democratic Senator Edmund Muskie complained that linking troop withdrawals to events in Cambodia and Laos was to "broaden our commitment" dangerously...
Rival Release. Lipman was hired for the inquest by District Attorney Edmund Dinis, who suggested that the stenographer could undoubtedly supplement his court fee by selling transcripts to the press. Lipman assembled a six-man team including two reporters, two secretaries, a duplicator operator and a messenger boy. He contracted with news organizations to sell 79 transcripts at $1.05 per page or $802.20 per set. Then Lipman discovered that a Suffolk Superior Court clerk, Edward V. Keating, planned to release the transcript at the bargain price of $75 per copy...
