...Cover: epoxy resin sculpture by Frank Gallo. Though Gallo's slender, sexy swingers grace many museums and private collections around the world, this is his first for TIME and first of a real, live girl. The others have all been imaginary. The sculpture took three weeks to complete, and Gallo personally brought it from Champaign, Ill., to New York-it sat beside him in a first-class Ozark Air Lines seat. At first the package was too bulky to get the seat belt around, so Gallo was obliged to unwrap it. That caused quite a stir on the plane...
...keyed. Thirty-eight Democrats voted against Haynsworth, but the margin of defeat was provided by the President's own party. Seventeen G.O.P. Senators-including the top three leaders-defected. To do so, they had subjected themselves to some of the toughest manhandling to come from the White House in years. Nixon confined himself to low-keyed sales pitches, but Attorney General John Mitchell and White House Aides Bryce Harlow, Harry Dent and Clark Mollenhoff adopted hard-knuckle tactics. For weeks, the struggle was a bizarre mixture of moral controversy, party loyalty, political animosity and crude pressure, all played...

The inhabitants, who had a long record of sheltering Viet Cong, scrambled for cover around 6 a.m. when an hour-long mortar and artillery barrage began. When it stopped, helicopters swooped in, disgorging C Company's three platoons. One platoon tore into the hamlet, while the other two threw a cordon around the place. "My family was eating breakfast, when the Americans came," said Do Chuc, a 48-year-old peasant who claims to have lost a son and a daughter in the shooting that followed. "Nothing...
...early as 1926, Joe Kennedy set up a trust fund for Rose and the children then born. Another was created in 1936, and still another in 1949. The latter trust fund is the vehicle through which Kennedy settled portions of his wealth on his 28 grandchildren. The three trust funds and the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation are the chief instruments of capital conservation. At the end of 1968, the foundation had assets of $22.1 million, and it disbursed $1.6 million, almost entirely for research in mental retardation...
