...before midnight. Even acknowledging the strong anti-Kennedy prejudices of the right-wing newspaper, its report does have a certain precision that lends verisimilitude. The paper stated, for example, that the five premid-night calls were placed from the party cottage to 1) the Kennedy family compound at Hyannis Port, 2) John Kennedy's former speech writer, Theodore Sorensen, in New York, 3) former Assistant Attorney General Burke Marshall, in Washington, 4) an unlisted Boston number and 5) Sorensen again. The phone calls, if indeed made, would be damaging evidence that, far from being a dazed accident victim, Kennedy...
...Mount Hermon in southern Lebanon, the jump-off point for 21 attacks against Israeli farms and outposts in the past month. A third retaliatory raid silenced Jordanian heavy artillery near the Dead Sea, and a fourth hit Egyptian guns that had blasted Israeli troops on a beach south of Port Suez, killing one and wounding...
...plan of the Dade County Port Authority does indeed loom as the crippling blow. Paying private landowners an average price of only $180 an acre, the Port Authority last year quietly began to acquire 39 square miles on the edge of Big Cypress Swamp, which supplies 38% of the park's water.

Raftery argues that Transportation ignored the clause. Instead, he says, the agency encouraged...
...repair its image, the Dade County Port Authority recently hired former Interior Secretary Stewart L. Udall and his new environmental-consulting firm, Overview Group, to study the impact of an airport and seek alternatives. Udall says that he refused to take the job until the Port Authority promised to freeze jetport construction after the first runway, and showed itself sincerely open-minded on optional sites for a commercial terminal. "We are not going to justify a decision already made," said Udall. "We're hoping to establish planning parameters for the entire southern Florida environment." But Port Director Alan...
