Massachusetts' sky was crisp blue, and a bright sun spilled down on the familiar figure cutting through the ocean on water skis. Just as she has done every day during her six-week stay at the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport this summer, Jackie Kennedy celebrated her 39th birthday skimming over Nantucket Sound. Then she collected an assortment of Kennedy children and treated them to an alfresco picnic on Egg Island, a sand bar that was a J.F.K. favorite during his summer White House days. Came evening, and she was at Father-in-Law Joe Kennedy's house...
...encampment's six-week tenure afforded ample time to pressure a patently willing Administration to do what it could to help the poor.

Things hummed along mellifluously until Daly left last April for a six-week Asian tour, only to learn on his return that one of his senior officials had been removed without his consent by Leonard H. Marks, director of the parent United States Information Agency. Daly abruptly announced that he would quit the next day. In reply, Marks struck a regretful note...
...North Vietnamese by night tunneled ever closer to the Marine perimeter, drawing the net of fortified attack positions ever tighter. In terms of firepower and supplies, the Communists were better prepared to strike at Khe Sanh than they ever had been at Dienbienphu. During the early days of the six-week siege, they even had the weather-low clouds, fog and mist-in their favor...
