Michigan: In one of the most strongly unionized states in the land, Walter Reuther's United Auto Workers are driving hard for Kennedy in the local halls and on the assembly lines, will pay thousands of members to stay away from their jobs and flush out the vote on Election Day. Detroit's Wayne County is the most heavily Democratic area in the North, and local polls give wide leads to Kennedy among its many Negroes (86% for Kennedy), Jews (80%), Catholics (79%), unskilled laborers (69%), immigrants (63%).

Abo will also have a two-way radio, underground phone lines, radiation-measuring instruments, provisions for fire fighting, garbage disposal and a morgue...
Fear of Fear. Like Marilyn, Roslyn is a fractured, manhandled woman always "searching for relationships," full of hurtful memories about parents who "disappeared all the time." Helpless, yet flush with appetite, she is a compulsive time killer, shows a disturbing skill at batting a paddle ball on a string-which Marilyn does constantly. On the set last week, Marilyn was obviously afraid to act and troubled by her responsibility to her husband's script. Drinking coffee by the urn, she trembled, tried to control her shaking hands, broke out in a blotchy rash, spoke in a voice so constricted...
