Love not withstanding, one must eat. Of this reality Maria is all too aware, and in her broad construction of the word "love," much is permissible. On a train she encounters Karl Oswald (Ivan Desny), aging French textile magnate and insinuates her way into an executive position in the company and a place...
This election is no different, despite the presence of two politicians who have been brushed by assassinations: John Connally and Ted Kennedy. Connally, who was wounded by Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963, believes that there is no way a candidate can be made entirely safe. Says an old associate, former L.BJ.

Discussing the House report, Michigan Congressman Harold Sawyer, a dissenting member of the committee, called it "supposition upon supposition upon supposition." A former prosecutor, Sawyer was asked what he would have done in his old job if someone had laid the report in his lap. Said...
