...Bushnell Memorial Hall when she opened her musical, Coco, there last week. "It's very emotional being here," she added, her voice trembling. Then Kate went home to another emotional encounter. A female chauffeur whom she had fired for rudeness was discovered hiding in a closet with a hammer, and it took the 61-year-old actress, her stepmother, 70, her secretary and another chauffeur ten minutes to subdue her. Kate emerged from the fray with a new memento of Hartford-a finger that was fractured and bitten to the bone...

As he stepped out of the Caravelle, moon-faced Premier Lon Nol seemed pleased with his two-day trip to Saigon, during which he and his South Vietnamese allies had made...

In a sense, however, the election campaign has been brewing ever since November 1969, when Mrs. Gandhi split the ruling Congress Party in order to break the hammer lock of the "Syndicate," the aging, slow-moving bosses who ran the party. The fight cost Indira 65 parliamentary votes and reduced the strength of her wing of the party to 228 seats out of 523 in the Lok Sabha, the lower house. As a result, she was forced to rely on the support of three...
