...touched down in Washington when he was plunging into new interviews about the many issues confronting the President in the summer of 1969. His file provided the bulk of the research for the story written by Keith Johnson and edited by Laurence Barrett. And as the magazine went to press, where was Fentress? In a jet once more, flying west to San Clemente and the West Coast White House, where the President will spend the next month. All of which led Washington Bureau Chief Hugh Sidey to wonder if perhaps "the White House Press Room really shouldn...
...authorities investigating the death of Mary Jo Kopechne have caused nearly as much uncertainty as Edward Kennedy's own partial explanations of the accident that killed her. At first, there was almost total reluctance in Martha's Vineyard, Mass., to press the inquiry. Kennedy's plea of guilty to a charge of leaving the scene of an accident seemed to end the legalities.

Clearly, he and the others were bursting to talk of their ordeal and their impressions-but they...
...culture (and a host of other things, for that matter, like politics and social reality) can often be fairly judged by the critics they keep. When Stanley Kauffmann seizes on The Graduate as one of the most significant films ever made, you know something is amiss. Similarly when the press does chorus kicks for James Simon Kunen. Or when Pauline Kael hails Wild in the Streets. Scorecards of who likes what are less important when dealing with art works with little contemporary social content. Time thinks Persona is a masterpiece, but doesn't know why and it doesn't matter...
