...last week was a reconvening of the New Frontier. Almost the entire Kennedy family was there (Jacqueline Onassis arrived 20 minutes late and was reprimanded by a receptionist); so were Robert McNamara, Burke Marshall, C.

Since Communist demands for a provisional government are almost certain to go unfulfilled, the P.C.E. will probably launch a series of "democratic activities": strikes, walkouts, demonstrations. In fact, the Junta Democrática-a leftist group believed to be heavily influenced by the P.C.E.-did not even wait for the young Prince to take office before it began distributing leaflets at universities last week calling for the overthrow...
