...press. Some 40 reporters from around the U.S. were covering the trial last week, and still more were expected. Until the jury was impaneled late last week after protracted argument, the press focused its attention on blonde, blue-eyed Candace Mossier, 45, who is accused along with her nephew, Melvin Powers, 24, of complicity in the bludgeoning and stabbing of her millionaire husband Jacques Mossier in 1964. And Candy was taking no chances on reporters' losing interest; she regaled them with the sorrows of her life and the peculiarities of her husband...

Former Governor Endicott Peabody and Massachusetts Turnpike Authority Chairman John Driscoll are other possibilities...
...shopping crowds are no more courteous than in any other city, and the unavoidable traffic jams have elicited no examples of Christmas spirit from the participants. But somehow the city keeps her head. She looks with grudging admiration at Prudential Center, like the split level of a nouveau riche nephew, but stays home for the holidays. The stark slab may mean money and progress and all those other nasty things, but the important thing now is the old house, the Christmas wreaths looking dignified on Louisburg Square, the candles at the State House...
