...second-grade teacher is getting across the essence of addition and subtraction. But of late, willowy Social Registerite Victoria Thompson, a 1960 Radcliffe graduate who teaches well-scrubbed little girls at Manhattan's exclusive Chapin School, finds her problems multiplying, what with all those reporters nosing around. One newshen nabbed her last week, but Vickie muttered, "I can't talk about that" and hurried away. About what? Well, what that happy band of Rocky boosters on the Coast keeps gloating about: they say that on June 10 Victoria will marry Dr. James Slater Murphy, 42, the suave Manhattan...
With all this being said, it was no wonder that McCormack's patience gave out. At a news conference, he was badgered by Newshen Sarah McClendon.

...flustered, Newshen McClendon named William Arthur Wieland and J. Clayton Miller-two State Department aides who, far from working in the sensitive Office of Security, hold routine administrative jobs in State's Office of Management. As Kennedy well knew, neither man had ever been considered a security risk. Taut with anger, he proceeded to tell Sarah McClendon just that. "I would say that the term you've used to describe them is a very strong term, which I would think that you should be prepared to substantiate." He hoped, added Kennedy, that the two men could perform their...
