...country condone Kennedy's actions in connection with the recent accident, then we are in real trouble-because our moral standards have completely decayed. If this individual was physically capable of walking back to the party, he surely was physically capable of going to the nearest residence to summon professional help. If his story is true, he is unable to think for himself and must be told what to do by his battery of advisers. He still needs a nanny to blow his nose...

Why did he not immediately summon the police or a fire department rescue crew? "My conduct and conversation during the next several hours," Kennedy told the TV audience, "to the extent that I can remember them, make no sense to me at all.

(Office de la Radio et Télévision Française) was a shamelessly partisan instrument of politics. For the forthcoming election, Poher told the director, it must be absolutely impartial. If it is not, he warned, he will carry his complaint straight to the French public. Poher does not really have the power to give that kind of order, but on hearing of his threat, Couve reportedly blanched. Poher is almost certain...
