MARRIED. Kate Jackson, 28, almond-eyed beauty of TV's adventure series Charlie's Angels; and Andrew Stevens, 23, budding star of the miniseries The Bastard and son of Actress Stella Stevens; both for the first time; on Martha's Vineyard, Mass...
Kennedy's strength reflects a sharp decline in voter concern over the incident on the Martha's Vineyard bridge that many thought would ruin his career. Public sentiment could change, of course, if Kennedy became a candidate for President and Chappaquiddick were raised as an issue. But, at this point, only 11% of those surveyed are bothered a lot by the fact that he was at a party with a group of single women on that night in July 1969; only 15% say they are greatly disturbed by his having gone off alone with Mary Jo Kopechne...
...York seems to be coping -chastened but in reasonably good mental health, even though just now in August the island of Manhattan is many tons lighter because most of its psychiatrists have gone to Martha's Vineyard and the Hamptons on Long Island.

Jaws 2 does have a few things in common with its illustrious forebear. It cost tons of money, is set around Amity (a.k.a.

But the crucial elements of the original have vanished: there is no wit, no genuine terror and no cinematic dazzle. The first Jaws was made...
Reagor left the division of research grants at the National Endowment for Humanities in the summer of 1976 for a "self-supported sabbatical" in Martha's Vineyard, where she read and wrote. At the time of the Harvard-Radcliffe agreement, Reagor was doing research in Cambridge; and subsequently through her acquaintances in the administration landed a job as director of the forum. She had never before dealt with women's issues alone, but feels it is important for all women to consider these questions at some point in their lives...
