...KENNEDY CIRCLE, edited by Lester Tanzer (315 pp.; Robert B. Luce, Inc.; $4.95); THE KENNEDY GOVERNMENT, by Stan Opotowsky (208 pp.; Dutton; $3.95), are two more quickie efforts on the same subject.

Despite the majority of proxies safely in his pocket, Colbert knew that he was in for a rough day from a hard core of dissident minority stockholders. Chrysler's first quarter shipments in 1961 were down 57% from last year, with no great upturn forecast for the second quarter. To cut costs, nearly 7,000 salaried workers had been fired. "If we had been able to combine our progress in cost reduction with a comparable...
