...White House some antique wallpaper-still available new in France-for which salvage rights had cost only $50. "Some people like old broken things because they are old and broken down; maybe Mrs. Kennedy is one of them." The supposition produced the first crack in the pale porcelain exterior of Pamela Turnure, 23, the First Lady's decorative press secretary. The remarks, said she, are "undignified and highly inappropriate." Retreated Glaser under the ire of the White House's youngest staffer: "Hours of painstaking care must be taken to remove antique paper from old plaster walls...Anyone willing...
...great swirls of red, white and blue bunting, which he called Birth of the Flag. Only three years later, William Morris Hunt turned out his Bathers, a simple, naturalistic scene showing a young boy poised to dive off the shoulders of another. George Fuller of Deerfield, Mass. painted a pale Arethusa that might have been a model for the white-robed girl in the old White Rock ads.

Six pallbearers in tall top hats and long black coats lifted down a mahogany casket, lowered it silently into an open grave. An eddy of wind blew a few leaves into the grave. "Sleep you now in the garden of heaven," said Lutheran Archbishop Gunnar Hultgren. "Rest in peace, Dag Hammarskjold...
...Mark (Continental). Pale from jail, a young Canadian accountant takes a job in a small city in the British Midlands. What was his crime? The movie makers let the moviegoer wonder, and while he wonders they invite him to like the young man. He is serious, decent, good at his job, but obviously afraid of something-something in himself? He reports to his parole officer, the psychiatrist (Rod Steiger) who treated him for three years in prison. As they talk, the past cracks open like a troubled tomb and horribly yields up its specters...
