Conflict of Roles. An extra complication was the fact that Negotiator Donovan is the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senator from New York against Republican Incumbent Jacob Javits. He therefore has a big, personal political stake in the outcome. Even the pro-Kennedy Washington Post voiced editorial misgivings about Donovan's "conflict of roles." Said the Post: "Suppose the Cubans are freed before the election. The suspicion will exist, fairly or not, that the United States has paid a bribe to the Castro regime at least in part to help publicize a candidate for office...

Glass, vessels, bronze jugs, weights, scales, and small bronze coins were scattered in profusion throughout the shops, which were pillaged when the Persian king Chosroes II destroyed the city...
...somber. 4OO-word statement printed in his own London Times, Baron Astor of Hever, 76, who was born in New York City and is the great-great-grandson of fur-trading Millionaire John Jacob Astor, announced that though he loves England dearly and will remain a loyal citizen, he simply cannot afford to die there. Because a newly adopted finance act imposes an 80% death duty on real property held overseas by any British subject who dies at home. Lord Astor, who owns an estimated $40 million in U.S. real estate, has decided to spend his last years in Southern...
