Marriage Revealed. Ted Williams, 49, former Boston Red Sox star and baseball's last .400 hitter (.406 in 1941); and Dolores Wettach, 32, a registered nurse and Miss Vermont of 1957; he for the third time, she for the first time; last fall...
Hyndman's interest in the meeting of East and West began in junior high school, when he wrote a paper on the Gandhara art of India. Last summer he studied Chinese at Vermont's Middlebury College; there he met some South Vietnamese who opened his eyes to the cultural differences between the U.S. and Asia. By the time the U.S. began the heavy bombing of North Viet Nam, Hyndman was thoroughly disenchanted with the nation's war policy.

Kennedy has been running into problems in the East. Even in his old and new home states of Massachusetts and New York, efforts to chip away at his support will probably deprive him of some votes.

Trowbridge, 33, a private-school product of Philadelphia's Chestnut Hill Academy and Vermont's Putney School, shuns the liberal notion that racial differences should be ignored. Manhattan Country's Negro pupils, most of whom are from poverty areas in East Harlem, may wear "Afro" haircuts with pride, knowing that their white classmates from high-rise apartment buildings cannot match them. No one pretends that there are no racial tensions at the school-but whenever a child tosses a racial slur, it becomes a topic of freewheeling discussion in which teachers lead the students in discovering...
