...Joseph Kopechne declared themselves "satisfied" last month by Edward Kennedy's televised explanation of the events surrounding their daughter's death.

Jobs Needed. Joseph Califano, former presidential aide to Lyndon Johnson, agreed and noted that the manpower proposal includes a provision for a 10% increase in job-training funds when unemployment hits 4.5% (about 4,000,000 unemployed) for three consecutive months, a level that some experts think could be reached this year.

But the acceptance of the "restored Gospel," and baptism in the True Church that proclaimed it, was considered necessary to earn the highest reward after the resurrection, the "celestial kingdom." Some way, then, had to be found to bring into that kingdom those...
...with the coal industry and angered by their seeming indifference to health and safety problems, miners in West Virginia walked off their jobs last winter in an unauthorized strike that supported legislation to compensate them for "black lung" ailments. Last week the rebellion moved into a new phase when Joseph A. ("Jock") Yablonski won the first round of his fight to oust W. A. ("Tony") Boyle, 64, from the $50,000-a-year U.M.W. presidency that he has held since...
