...guardia. So far, the Shah has ventured out rarely, but when he goes out for the simplest of reasons, so goes the entourage: when he walked his Great Dane on the island's main beach last week, ten security men walked with hun and a red sedan filled with more guards drove behind. It is a measure of the Shah's exile that in those circumstances any place can feel like home...
...partygoers were Kennedy, five other men and six women. The women were all in their 20s and veterans of Robert Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign. After several hours over drinks, snacks and charcoal-broiled steaks, Kennedy and Kopechne, 28, left in his black Oldsmobile sedan.

The movie calls for SWAT teams, National Guardsmen...
...middle, three circus-like tents and a maze of yellow rubber cones point skyward like the towers of some futuristic Camelot. A long line of odd-looking vehicles is strung out in front of them. Some appear to have wings. Some look like your average tired little foreign sedan. One, with a bright red body but made mostly of glass, could be a fire chiefs dream of glory...
