...orders do not deny the necessity of an active defense, but they would scale down the massive search-and-destroy missions that have dominated U.S. strategy. Said one Government official: "Where we used to have division-sized sweeps, we now want to see whether the job can't be done by 25-man patrols. Where we now send out 25-man patrols, we want to see whether a five-man patrol won't do. And we must keep in mind that we are no longer out for military victory." The new approach also calls for increased Vietnamization...
...remember trying to rescue Miss Kopechne. Kennedy, who wears a back brace and is still in pain as a result of injuries suffered in a 1964 plane crash, recalled: "I came to the surface and then repeatedly dove into the car in an attempt to see if the passenger was still in the car. I was unsuccessful in the attempt." As for his failure to report the accident, he maintained that he "was exhausted and in a state of shock." Kennedy's explanation was supported by his family physician, Dr. Robert D. Watt. Examining the Senator at his home...
More explainable was Miss Kopechne's presence on the island. On a weekend reunion with girls she had met while a member of the R.F.K. staff, she had come to the island to watch the Edgartown Regatta and to see Teddy race.

In the battle against organized crime and subversion, he has contended that the Justice Department should have far greater control than it now has to conduct wiretaps and plant electronic bugs (see THE LAW). To combat the narcotics traffic, he urged adoption last week of a national "no-knock" law that would empower federal agents to break into a suspect's house, unannounced and unidentified, so that the occupants would not have time to destroy evidence...
...this is reflected in a sumptuous summer-long exhibition entitled "The Past Rediscovered: French Painting 1800-1900" at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The show provides a rare opportunity for reacquaintance and reassessment (see color). Paintings by both major and minor figures, including seven loaned by the Louvre, have been arranged in chronological sequence, thereby skillfully re-creating a vigorous esthetic dialogue reflected on canvas...
