...citizen has certain misgivings. "Politics aside," he wonders, "is Richard Nixon worth [a salary of] $100,000? I admit his chances look pretty good, but what about ours?" Waging a sort of personal third campaign, he has a captious eye on Hyannisport as well: "The choice is between the lesser of two evils, anyway," he says. "Some people claim Nixon is trying to sell the country, and Kennedy is trying to buy it." ... With one eye on world news and the other on Variety, [Sahl] is a volatile mixture of show business and politics, of exhibitionistic self-dedication...
...matter where they happen to be, the Kennedys are a cable-stitched clan. The sisters communicate by long distance at least once a week; Jack and his brothers hold daily strategy meetings by telephone or in person. Father Joe, whether in his Manhattan office, his summer home in Hyannisport, his winter palace in Palm Beach, or his between-seasons residence on the Riviera, gets the latest daily report from one of the boys, and when Mother Rose makes one of her frequent trips to the ateliers of Paris, she can count on weekly letters, with the latest intelligence from each...

Enter the Greek shipping tycoon. Seventeen days late and half a world away, Rory Kennedy?s marriage to Mark Bailey went off privately and without fanfare on Monday night. The refuge? Not the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport anymore ? too haunted ? but the Vardinoyiannis compound in Ekali, a suburb of Athens, an estate that not only subsumes an entire block but is most helpfully surrounded by a nine-foot wall. All courtesy of Vardis Vardinoyiannis, whose wife knows the bride?s aunt, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, from a few Special-Olympics bake sales, and all impenetrable to a ravenous press which...
