...JACKIE KENNEDY watcher from way back, Boston Bureau Chief Gavin Scott was understandably skeptical about the story in the Boston Herald Traveler. After all, he says, "when I was in Madrid I covered a Jackie-and-Garrigues scare; when I was in London it was a Harlech scare." Now some headline writer seemed to be marrying Jackie off to Aristotle Onassis. Though the story sounded dubious, Scott was cautious enough to check it out. Soon he was on the phone to New York alerting the editors to this week's late-breaking cover story...

For an amount it refuses to disclose, the company has acquired 51% of everything published since 1955 by famed Mystery Writer...

"I hope he means it," said retired Lieut. General James Gavin. "I'm afraid he doesn't, and that he would accept a fair draft." Many sophisticated Europeans suspected that Johnson hoped to duplicate the feat of Egypt's Nasser, who "quit" after the disastrous war with Israel in 1967 but was restored to power by popular demand.
