...evening cookout. Between 11:15 and 11:30 p.m., Kennedy told Crimmins-but no one else-that he was tired and was returning to his room at the Shiretown Inn in Edgartown. Mary Jo left too, telling the Senator that she wanted to be driven back to her motel, some two miles from the Shiretown. But Mary Jo told none of the others; she left her pocketbook and her room key at the cottage...

Diners enter through a ticket booth, scanning a big schedule board, and buy tickets printed with a destination...
Evers does not even accept his meager $75-a-month salary as mayor of impoverished Fayette, but he owns a restaurant, liquor store and motel in town. The indictment "should prove all niggers aren't on welfare," said Evers last week, after proclaiming his innocence. He added that he had repeatedly told the Internal Revenue Service that he would pay whatever they said he owed, "but they told me very frankly, 'No, we want you.' " That was a distortion, said an IRS official: "We just told him that we weren't there to collect money, that...
