...several years I have disliked the public images of Mr. William F. Buckley Jr. and Mr. Gore Vidal [Aug. 22]. At last, it seems, these men's special gifts and inclinations command a bit of admiration-not for what they are, but rather for how they are being used. Buckley may rid us of Vidal, and Vidal may rid us of Buckley...
...with the hasty over-the-shoulder air of a heister peddling a hot watch in front of a police station. Among his friends, says one intimate, Johnson cannot help noting that the stock market has gone to hell, inflation is rampant and Nixon has had more men in Viet Nam than L.B.J. ever did.

Once more it got no satisfaction, so now it is leaking its case to the public...
...cottage dazed from his accident. Not the least of the mysteries is why the two lawyers failed to summon help immediately, report the crash to the police, and later supposedly permitted Kennedy to swim the channel to Edgartown alone. That swim is all the more incredible because both men are among Ted's oldest friends. Markham and Joey Gargan, Ted's cousin, attended prep school together, and it was through Gargan that Markham became a regular member of Kennedy touch-football squads...
