There are new indications that it did not take place shortly after 11:15 p.m., as Kennedy said, but sometime after 12:40 a.m. Dr. Donald R. Mills, the associate medical examiner, said that Mary Jo could have died anywhere from five to eight hours before 9:30 a.m., when he looked at the body. Even using a very outside limit of nine hours, that would have placed the moment of death no earlier than 12:30 a.m. Dr. Mills admitted that a judgment based on the degree of rigor mortis is "at best inexact"; there was no autopsy.

Rose Kennedy has lost four of her nine children in violence: John and Robert assassinated, Joseph Jr. killed in World War II, Kathleen dead in a plane crash. Another daughter, Rosemary, is mentally retarded and Joseph Sr., now 80, has been incapacitated for eight years by a stroke. She reserves much of her time for her ailing husband, who is now no longer able to come downstairs...
...Hanoi signal of genuine deescalation, following a period of rethinking of strategy by Ho Chi Minh and his men. The allies generally assume that orders from Hanoi take around four weeks to filter down to Communist troops in the South.

...South Korea's President Chung Hee Park revised the constitution, limiting the chief executive's tenure to two terms. Park wanted to make certain that there could never be another marathon reign like that of former President Syngman Rhee, who ruled for 13 years. Last week, after eight years in power, Park declared his intention to alter the constitution to allow himself to run in 1971 for a third term. If successful, Park would be in office until 1976-one year longer than Rhee...
...order to amend the constitution, Park must first win the approval of the National Assembly, in which his party has eight seats fewer than necessary for the two-thirds vote required. Furious bargaining is now under way with opposition members who might be induced to switch. The next step will be a national referendum on the proposed amendment. In a televised speech, Park declared that he regarded the referendum as "a vote of confidence. If the proposal is defeated, I and the government will immediately step down." He enjoys enough popularity among both people and army to make such...
