...still in easy reach. Official curiosity overcame Dinis only after the press demanded more information and a national mood of skepticism about the whole affair put both Kennedy and the authorities on the defensive. Even now,, it is questionable how thorough the inquest will be. At week's end, Dinis said he had "no intention at this time" of calling Kennedy to testify-although Kennedy obviously knows more about what happened than anyone else. Edgartown Police Chief Dominick Arena was making arrangements anyhow to provide police protection in case Kennedy is called. When reminded of Dinis' statement that...
Evans, 22, a regional organizer for the Students for a Democratic Society. The leader of the group was Rennard C. Davis, the National Coordinator of the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Viet Nam. A founding member of the S.D.S., Davis has been a longtime, virulent critic of the Viet Nam war and one of the most enterprising organizers of the radical movement. Dellinger and Davis are under indictment on charges of conspiracy to incite a riot during last August's Democratic Convention. With less than five hours left before his plane's departure, Davis managed...
...once-despised car. Edsel buffs around the country are banding together to compare their cars and defend them to any one who will listen.

Last weekend, the 600-member club held its first national convention at the Indianapolis Speedway, while 50 members...
...Giscard D'Estaing decided on July 16 to devalue the franc. Only nine people in all of France knew of the impending devaluation. As far as France and the rest of the world were concerned, Pompidou was about to leave Paris on holiday at week's end. So artful was the camouflage that only a single French newsman remained behind, lounging in the press department of Pompidou's Elysée Palace and flicking through the President's itinerary for a visit to Corsica. Then a stream of Citroën limousines began to disgorge Cabinet...
...despair and sullenness. The factory workers who a year ago volunteered for weekend "Dubček shifts" without pay, in order to boost production, are today blatantly loafing on the job and pilfering supplies. The slowdown has made a mockery of practically every state-prescribed quota. By the end of April, for example, only 11% of this year's construction targets had been completed. There is a shortage of many consumer goods. In a rare bit of candor for Czechoslovakia's tightly supervised press, the weekly Tribuna reported last week that in a recent poll...
