Arlington. The Battle Hymn of the Republic, that fierce old war song chanted tenderly by Andy Williams at the end of the funeral, was to be heard again and again during the afternoon as the special 21-car train bore the Senator and his family and his friends south to Washington. There were crowds and choirs at many of the communities along the right-of-way, more tears and dirges?and there was still more death. Two waiting mourners at Elizabeth, N.J., were killed by a train roaring in the other direction...
Television and still photographers fought for position. Assembly Speaker Jesse Unruh swung at one of them. Ethel, shoved back to safety by a hotel employee at the first sound of gunfire, appeared moments later. While trying to get to her husband, she heard a youth scream something about Kennedy. "Don't talk that way about the Senator!" she snapped. "Lady," he replied, "I've been shot." And Ethel knelt to kiss the cheek of Erwin Stroll, 17, a campaign worker who had been wounded in the left shin...

A special committee is free to take testimony from both students and other interested faculty members while studying its particular problem. Many of the special committees of the past year used that freedom...
Ford has been aware of prevalent cynicism toward committees in general, and says it has often proven a problem for him to convince persons that he was not setting up a committee so as not to do something. He says he heard this when he decided upon the committee on the uses of computers in instruction. That committee's report this year will have an initial pay-off next Fall when four computer consoles are installed in the Houses and Harvard Yard for undergraduate...
