...Kennedy brother could conceivably remove himself from national politics and presidential speculation. Ted had no intention of renouncing public life. By December, he was ready to return to his career. By then, he was also eager to discuss the 91st Congress and his role in it. "This was the first interlude," he said later. "I had been so involved with the memorial and with the fund-raising dinners. But obviously it was time to begin thinking about next year." It was also time, as one aide put it, "for him to become more than just the 'nice' Kennedy...
...there is to be any Democratic program in the following four years, it must come from Congress. As No. 2 man on the majority side and a member of the steering committee, Ted Kennedy will have a major role in formulating policy.

Unbridled sex appeal and bridled hobbyhorses make an unlikely scene.

Production lines grind out an endless assortment of tools and equipment designed solely for the righthander, with only occasional exceptions for lefty. Left-handed golf clubs can be found, but usually they must be specially ordered...
France, 1952. The country has changed, but the sergeant is the same: a psychotic homosexual who hides his desires from the world-and from himself-beneath a barrage of bluster. In the title role of The Sergeant, Rod Steiger continues his obvious fascination with the deviate character. Where he was the screaming, mincing Mr. Joyboy in The Loved One, and a coronation of closet queens in No Way to Treat a Lady, he is here appropriately disciplined as the doomed Sergeant Callan...
