...rainy days, announcers give the weather forecast to the background refrains of electronic wind and rain, which comes in three intensities, drying up, drizzle and drench. Warm summer nights are depicted by impressionistic bullfrogs and nightingales, cold winter days by chilling quivers and twangs. The music for time checks ranges from "a snappy c'mon-get-out-of bed sound" to a "gentle good-night-and-sweet-dreams sound." Says Siday: "It's all subliminal.

Paul Fay has sensibly confined himself to an account of his friendship, and the result is both ingenuous and warm. The fact that Fay's book is being serialized in the daily press and has begun to make the bestseller lists can be taken as an indication that, while the last serious tomes about Kennedy's Administration may have been published, the last glimpses of his personality have...
