...Kennedys promised us the moon in 1960, and that particular moon consisted of the Bay of Pigs, acceleration of the war in Viet Nam, the Berlin Wall, the disastrous Vienna conference and the failure to get one New Frontier legislative program through Congress. What is Bobby going to do for an encore...
...baby-faced 34-year-old from Albuquerque had skill and daring going for him too. Unser's older brother Jerry was killed during a practice run at Indy in 1959; his younger brother Al narrowly escaped injury when he lost two wheels and slammed into the wall on the 41st lap of last week's race. Worried about Al, plagued by a broken transmission that forced him to stay in high gear and therefore cost him seconds accelerating away from each pit stop, Bobby nonetheless drove the race of his life.

Brokers protested that the tax was already unfair to out-of-state investors, who account for 70% of the New York Stock Exchange's $130 billion annual business. Warning that any increase would be "misguided, shortsighted and self-defeating," the Big Board dropped plans to build a new $80 million headquarters in Manhattan, threatened to move lock, stock and trading booths out of the state...
