...Gargan, the men were Paul Markham, a former U.S. attorney for Massachusetts; Jack Crimmins, a Kennedy employee; Charles Tredder and Raymond Larusso, frequent sailing companions. Kennedy was registered at the Shiretown Inn in Edgartown, across the channel from Chappaquiddick; the women were put up at The Dunes, a motel several miles away. Kennedy had raced his yacht, the Victura, that afternoon in the first heat of the annual Edgartown Regatta, an event long attended by members of his family. Kennedy's wife Joan remained at their summer home on Squaw Island off Hyannisport. "Only reasons of health," Kennedy said, prevented...
Meanwhile, in Houston, the rest of TIME'S Apollo reportorial team -Correspondents Don Neff and James Schefter and Bureau Secretary Rose Graham-had set up operations in a motel directly across the street from the Manned Space Center. For Rose, it was the 16th time that she has supervised the movement of typewriters, files, Associated Press ticker and Teletype from the bureau offices in Houston's downtown Humble Building. During Apollo 8's pioneering voyage around the moon, she sent copy by Teletype for 20 hours without letup, all through Christmas Eve until noon on Christmas...

They released the record on their own label (Truth), gave a copy to some friendly disk jockeys in Lincoln, then watched it take...
...oppressed Negroes (as they were called). Very little of southern life was changed in return for the vast amount of energy the crusaders put into getting there. Imagine how much money the tens of thousands of people who came down for the Selma march in 1965 spent on gasoline, motel rooms, airplane tickets, restaurants. Millions of dollars, and the cops got the firehoses out as soon as they left...
...films are alike only in their lapidary craftsmanship and strong visual sense. At his best, Kubrick created America's finest antiwar movie, Paths of Glory. At his worst, in Lolita, he flattened Nabokov's Krafft-Ebing satire and missed the author's parody of motel Americana. With the innovative successes of Dr. Strangelove and 2001, he recouped much of his prestigé. Still, there remains some doubt as to whether Kubrick has retained his ability to create characters of psychological breadth and substance. His newest project-a life of Napoleon-should answer that question. Orson Welles...
