Negro voters in both Philadelphia and Louisville helped Republicans overcome their disastrous nationwide showing in the presidential election last year. In Philadelphia, 35-year-old Arlen Specter, assistant counsel of the Warren Commission, which investigated President Kennedy's assassination, used implausible means to achieve the seemingly impossible. A registered Democrat, he ran for district attorney on the Republican ticket, with the support of Americans for Democratic Action. Specter won, despite a 2-to-l Democratic registration edge and hoots of "Benedict Arlen" and "Specter the Defector" by his former Democratic colleagues.

...varied assortment of the nation's own version of noblemen and -women were eager to greet her. In San Francisco, Hello, Dollyl's Carol Channing showed up for an English-Speaking Union luncheon, and Bullfight Expert Barnaby Conrad graced an exclusive dinner given by Socialite Whitney Warren atop Telegraph Hill.

Margaret promptly upset her security guards in San Francisco by insisting on an unscheduled ride aboard...

...doctors at Dallas' Parkland Hospital discovered that John F. Kennedy was wearing the rigid, corsetlike brace with which he supported his ailing back. Had Kennedy not worn it that November morning in 1963, he might conceivably be alive today. In Philadelphia last week an assistant counsel of the Warren Commission, Arlen Specter, pointed out that Harvey Oswald's first bullet, which struck the President in the neck, would not have proved fatal. Had J.F.K. not been wearing the brace, he suggested, the impact would probably have knocked him out of the line of fire. As it was, said...
