Forty for Lunch. But life with Jack was not all rose petals. "It was like being married to a whirlwind. Life was so disorganized. We never had a home for five years. Politics was sort of my enemy as far as seeing Jack was concerned." She coped with problems that would have sent the average bride sprinting home to mother. "One morning the first year we were married, Jack said to me, 'What food are you planning for the 40 guests we are having for luncheon?' No one had told me anything about...
...whirlwind, two-day tour of Jerusalem and Bethlehem, Dr. Fisher was honored by Armenian Orthodox and Greek Orthodox patriarchs, Coptic and Maronite prelates.

Kennedy struck home with economic issues in hard-pressed areas of Pennsylvania and Illinois, and conjured up the spectre of an economy "slipping into its third recession in six years" in areas that were not hard-pressed but were beginning to wonder if they might be. By his own oomph-no less than by virtue...
There is something about a Presidential candidate, even if you don't particularly like him, that makes you stop and look around when he goes by. The truth of this was demonstrated last week when vice-President Richard M. Nixon stormed Boston in a whirlwind visit. Although Nixon was more than 30 minutes late, thus neatly missing the rush hour, and although the weather was cold and rainy, an estimated quarter of a million people jammed the streets of downtown Boston to get a look at the Republican nominee...
