...insisted that the jet take off at once. Trailed by a small plane full of FBI men, it flew northeast to Bangor, Me., to take on fuel for the ocean crossing. Again Minichiello passed the word through Cook that only the fueling crew was to come near the Boeing. Soon the jet was airborne once more, this time for Shannon and Rome, with only the skyjacker, Volunteer Stewardess Tracey Coleman, and a crew of five on board...
Nixon drew some of his recommendations from the findings of New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, who earlier this year visited 20 hemisphere nations (TIME, July 11). Rocky's report, to be released soon, was described in Washington as considerably more far-reaching than Nixon's guidelines. During his tour, the Governor was told that Latin Americans are unhappy not only with the slow pace of development but also with the often domineering, paternalistic attitudes and policies...
Almost as soon as the campaigning began, it became apparent that the most important issue of the election was the P.M. himself. Gorton, 58, took over the party's leadership 21 months ago, after the disappearance of Harold Holt in a tragic swimming accident. Initially, Gorton was immensely popular.

...that was a present from her husband, John F. Kennedy. Scribbled across the letter are several notations by the unidentified store's credit department, questioning where the sweater was actually purchased and finally deciding to settle for an $18.50 credit. The latest tidbit of Jacqueline Kennedy memorabilia is soon to be put on the block along with three similar letters (expected price: several hundred dollars apiece) by Manhattan Autograph Dealer Charles Hamilton, who will not say where he got them-except that they were "salvaged" from someone's wastebasket. One of the other letters indicates certain gaps...
