Just before dawn, an ambulance drew up to the White House portico, and U.S. servicemen carried Kennedy's casket into the East Room. On a blackshrouded catafalque, John F. Kennedy lay in state. His sleepless wife viewed him for the last time, and then the bier was sealed...
...sour grapes for the President last week. On Veterans Day he took John Jr., dubbed "John-John" by the family, along for ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery. While the President and U.S. military leaders were marching toward the Tomb of the Unknowns, John-John escaped from Secret Servicemen and busted into the parade. Some folks thought that a good, firm nanny might well be employed to keep a 2½-year-old out of solemn ceremonies, but the President thought the whole incident was hilarious.

Effective as of Oct. 1, the raise is the first for servicemen since 1958, gives its highest-percentage increases to younger officers and noncoms as incentives to keep them in uniform. For those who are risking their lives in such cold war hot spots as Viet Nam but are technically ineligible for combat pay, there will be an added $55 a month in "hostile fire" pay. No sooner had Congress acted than Defense...
