...death of Mary Jo Kopechne on Chappaquiddick Island last month does not belong in the same category as these and similar scandal-tinged tragedies. Edward Kennedy has denied all charges of indiscretion with the young woman, and there is neither proof nor convincing speculation to the contrary. Yet his inconsistent and clearly incomplete explanations have allowed doubts to persist that involve much more than Kennedy's political future. The fortunes of the Democratic Party in the 1972 presidential election have been affected; so, perhaps, have been some of the liberal causes that Ted Kennedy espoused...
Once again, the Santa Fe troupe had justified its experimental philosophy. Like many a small opera company, it has neither the money to engage stars nor the patience to put up with their antics. Instead, it has nourished a number of talented beginners who have grown up to be stars in their own highly specialized orbits. John Reardon is one of them. In many ways, moreover, he typifies the new qualities necessary to survive in opera today. He is good-looking. He acts superbly. He will sing nearly anything that lies within his vocal range. He is also willing...
Risky Action. Kaunda's action entails serious risks for his country. Zambia has neither the capital nor the skills to run the mines by itself.

Any decline in copper prices as a result of an end of the war in Viet Nam, the discovery of new sources, or the increased...
What makes Siam Miami run is a compulsive need for some sort of great personal achievement-despite the odds against her in a field that is far from fastidious. Neither dumb enough nor callous enough to be a mere commodity, she is nevertheless badly equipped to deal with that old dilemma-how to sell yourself and save yourself at the same time. Sex equals money equals power seems to be a simple enough show-business equation. But even in this crocodile world, as Renek shows, personal feelings and gestures intruding at the wrong time suddenly shift the balance of power...
Partly for this reason, neither of these new histories is satisfactory. Each uses the same contemporary accounts, though each author clearly senses their inadequacy. Deaux, a sometime novelist who now teaches English at Temple University, is useful only for the material borrowed from the past between quotation marks (including Petrarch's moving account of the death of his love, Laura, struck down by the plague). Author Zeigler a former British diplomat confronted with the numbness induced by the contemplation of too much death, simply dives into his papers and surfaces with another forty facts...
