...DANNY KAYE SHOW (CBS, 10-11 p.m.). "Giovanni's Wedding," an original five-act musical based on some of Kaye's earlier sketches about a shy Italian-tailor-come-to-America. Amzie Strickland plays the widow who breaks through Giovanni's shell and gently leads him to the altar...
Married. Marie Tippit, 38, mother of three and widow of Dallas Policeman J. D. Tippit, who was Lee Harvey Oswald's second victim on Nov. 22, 1963, after which donors contributed to a fund for her family that eventually totaled $750,000; and Harry Dean Thomas, 44, a Dallas police lieutenant whom she met last year; both for the second time (he was divorced by his first wife in February 1966); in Dallas...

As far as his House colleagues are concerned, however, any attempt by Powell to cleanse his past may be offset by his verbiage on the recording. Assailing his congressional opponents as "Judases" and "hypocrites," Powell compares his fate to Caesar's, at one point cries: "Et tu, Brute?" Even for Manny Celler's committee, such histrionics...
