There is an undeniable magnetism about him. He lacks Jack's graceful wit and easy intellectuality, to be sure, and his reedy voice is oddly suggestive of a Bostonian Bugs Bunny. Yet his slight (5 ft. 10 in., 165 Ibs.), wiry frame, his sandy, sun-bleached mane (to which a hand keeps straying nervously), his electric blue eyes all project an image that youngsters, in particular, see as the embodiment of his brother's appeal. His steady outpouring of statements on everything and anything, often aimed a cagey centimeter or so to the left of the President...
...borders above Hong Kong and Macao, but a lot of Chinese still managed to slip through. With them came unconfirmed reports that Mao Tse-tung was suffering from throat cancer and that the Red Guard-led purge was the last gasp of a dying dictator. To be sure, Mao has not spoken publicly during his last few outings, allowing Defense Minister Lin Piao (TIME, Sept. 9) to be his mouthpiece.

His main concern has been to revive the shattered economy by reducing official salaries and reining in government spending. For the first time in 16 months, the Dominican Republic this month will meet its expenses without turning to the U.S. for assistance...
Because of the confusion and horror that followed the shooting, no one was quite sure whether there were three or four shots fired at the limousine; the commission held that the "preponderance of the evidence" indicated three, but there was still no real certainty as to which bullets caused which wounds. As reconstructed from a tourist's color movie film of the assassination, the sequence of events went like this: the President was hit once, as was graphically portrayed when his hands clutched his throat. An instant later, Governor Connally, seated on a jump seat in front of Kennedy...
