...Newport, R.I., for the months of August and September. Annandale, the same estate that a group of Rhode Islanders wanted to buy and present to Kennedy as a permanent summer White House in 1962, will replace the First Family's summer home at Squaw Island in Hyannis Port. The new digs, for which the Kennedys reportedly will pay $2,000 a month, has 22 acres, a swimming pool, nearly a dozen bedrooms, and seclusion behind high brick walls. It adjoins the estate of Jacqueline Kennedy's mother and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh D. Auchincloss, where Jackie played...

Man, woman and boy abrade one another until a climactic fight for possession of the knife abruptly exposes the very quick of character. Despising her husband, in his absence the cool young wife gives herself...
Ties & Tradition. The nine second-generation Braun-Menendezes (three sisters along with the brothers) are closer than Kennedys. All live in the same fashionable residential block in Buenos Aires, spend their weekends at a Hyannis Port-like suburban compound, where each has a chalet, and the men spend much time watching the younger generation play polo on a family team. Altogether they have 63 children, many of whom marry cousins or into families with promising business connections. "Above all," says Brother Armando, "we think and act as a family unit. The children in their way will keep the family...
