...Road, I descended a hill and came upon a narrow bridge. The car went off the side of the bridge." Although he had no recollection of how he got out of the car, he did 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...
...criticism voiced-from within and without the medical profession -against the A.M.A.'s ultra-conservative influence on national policies. Moderate and liberal critics question its propriety in helping to scuttle the appointment of Dr. John Knowles to the nation's top health post (TIME, July 4). Still remembered are the association's relentless fights of yesteryear against Medicare and Medicaid.

Marcos may tell Nixon that he, too, is under pressure to bring home his troops from Viet Nam; he may even discuss plans to withdraw at least part of the 2,000-man Philippine contingent. The Filipinos are still eager for U.S. aid and investment. But as Nixon will point out, the Philippine government is hurting its chances of attracting outside capital by continuing to tighten regulations on foreign-owned business...
...North. Meanwhile, in Copenhagen, the Scandinavians were making substantial progress toward creating their own economic alliance. After two weeks of final and frenetic discussions, representatives of Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland emerged with a detailed blueprint for a Nordic Economic Community, dubbed Nordek. The draft agreement must still be ratified by the respective Scandinavian parliaments, and there were still difficult compromises to be worked out -notably on dairy products, meat and fisheries. Even so, the consensus was that surprisingly good progress had been made. Targeted by its drafters to go into operation Jan. 1, 1971, Nordek would unify the Scandinavian...
