Boston Bureau Chief Ruth Mehrtens spent five days in the Childs' sunny kitchen interviewing Julia and occasionally lent a helping hand when there were peas to be shelled or a chicken to be stuffed. Ruth modestly admits that she is considered an excellent cook by her good friends ("and anyone who thinks I'm an excellent cook is a good friend"). Writer Marshall Burchard grew up in a food-conscious home in Boston; his father liked to re-create for his family meals he had eaten in European restaurants. While working on the cover, Burchard and his wife...
...reporters were respectfully si lent. The night before, in front of 35,460 people in Houston's Astrodome, Heavyweight Champion Clay had made believers out of all but his severest critics by utterly demolishing the man who was supposed to be his toughest challenger: Cleveland ("Big Cat") Williams. Granted, Williams, at 33, was nearly ten years older than Clay, and he was not exactly intact; in 1964, a .357 magnum bullet from a Texas state trooper's pistol had ripped through his stomach, costing him a kidney...
Unwitting Support. Thus the commission unwittingly lent support to those who would later insist that Lee Harvey Oswald must have had an accomplice. Their suspicions were based primarily on the commission's controversial "single-bullet theory."

...sooner had Minnesota lent Kamisar to Harvard as a visiting professor in 1964, than the University of Michigan hired him for the year after. No matter. Like a Bronx Socrates, he harangues entranced students in thunderous tones that surely reach all three campuses. Kamisar has two passions: "translating" how Supreme Court decisions affect all Americans' liberties-and blasting polemicists who accuse the court of "coddling criminals." A dangerous counterpuncher in any argument, Kamisar plays no favorites: he has fought American Law Institute conservatives who sought tough model rules of police questioning, while he "gags" at Supreme Court Justices...
...rith's Anti-Defamation League last week reported that in 1966 Ku Klux Klan membership has increased by 10,000, mostly in the North and the Midwest, to a nationwide total of 29,500, and concluded that irban riots and the "black-power" threat had lent credibility to its shabby hokum among those "who previously would have neither listened nor heard." Misdirected Negro militancy also gives those who might otherwise be ashamed of their anti-Negro prejudices a ready-made excuse and self-justification...
