Disputed Orders. One problem for both sides in the My Lai case is to clarify and pinpoint the source of the orders that Calley and Mitchell will claim they obeyed. No one has yet produced records specifying Charlie Company's mission on March 16, 1968. What Calley's orders were that day may not be known until his lawyers present his case in court and others corroborate or contradict his claims.

Kissinger, 46, is one of the few eligible bachelors in the Administration, having divorced his wife of 15 years in 1964. But Barbara says, perhaps unconvincingly, "The reason Henry goes out with me is that he knows I'm one woman who is not husband hunting...
