...intriguing report that Dinis was investigating last week was the Manchester (N.H.) Union Leader's claim that on the night of the accident, 17 long distance phone calls from Chappaquiddick and Edgartown were charged to Kennedy's telephone credit card. Five of the calls, said the Union Leader, were placed before midnight. Even acknowledging the strong anti-Kennedy prejudices of the right-wing newspaper, its report does have a certain precision that lends verisimilitude. The paper stated, for example, that the five premid-night calls were placed from the party cottage to 1) the Kennedy family compound...
Still, the overwhelming evidence seemed to be against the "17 calls" theory. Operators do not normally ask for the telephone number from which a credit-card call is made, and thus there would be no record of their origin. It is unclear what records, if any, the Union Leader has to support its story. There was no telephone at the Chappaquiddick cottage itself; the phone mentioned by the Union Leader was in a locked studio behind the cottage, and the owners reported no indication that anyone had broken in to use the phone. If Kennedy had later made the twelve...
...Paul, Minn., the reaction was almost as if another leader had been shot. "I haven't felt like this," sobbed one Catholic housewife there, "since Jack Kennedy was killed." No one, as a matter of fact, had died, but one of Roman Catholicism's most articulate and progressive shepherds in the U.S. had been abruptly estranged from his flock. The Most Rev. James P. Shannon, who had resigned as auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis earlier this year (TIME, June 6), last week announced that he had married. The wedding took place...
...rail a half-length off the pace, and Larry Adams still has a little horse under him. The reins are slightly taut. Hydrologist is next, on the lead, and Cordero has set his horse down for a strong hand ride, the reins loose. Distray, a length off the leader, is being asked for some run by Rotz. Fourth from the rail is Art And Letters, Baeza up, two lengths from the leader and moving fastest of all. Braulio is not pushing his mount. The horse is running on its own courage, still fresh. But, notice that Braulio is looking over...
...Respect. The Ripon Society, a group of Republican liberals, blames the Administration's "floundering" largely on SBA Administrator Hilary J. Sandoval Jr., an El Paso businessman appointed by Nixon to replace Democrat Howard Samuels, a far more aggressive leader. The society called for Sandoval's dismissal because "he no longer commands the respect of the black and white communities with whom he has to deal." SBA officials around the nation complain that they get no guidance from Washington. Walt McMurtry, executive director of Detroit's Inner-City Black Industrial Forum, voices a common complaint: "Sandoval just does...
