Whatever Recompense. Hundreds of miles away, Marie Tippit, widow of the Dallas policeman who was shot to death while trying to question Kennedy's assassin, spent the pre-Christmas weekend decorating a tree at home with her three children, Allen, 14, Brenda, 10, and Curtis, 5. But on Christmas Day she left Dallas for visits to the outlying homes of her parents and her husband's parents. The trip was marred by a minor but upsetting auto accident, in which Mrs. Tippit cut her head. For whatever recompense it was worth, mail sacks filled with contributions...

In reminding French readers about Texas, it also included a full-color shot of Dallas waitresses in abbreviated togas serving drinks by a pool ("On the terrace...
Charade. A corpse lies in a chapel. Suddenly a door bursts open and a leering menace strides up to the dead man, jabs a pin into his hand. "Good grief!" gasps the dead man's widow (Audrey Hepburn). "What next?" Another fiend, that's what. A pal of the malevolent mourner corners the widow and flips lighted matches into her lap. "Your late husband," he snarls viciously, "stole a quarter-million dollars from me an' my buddies. Where is it?" To the rescue rushes a handsome stranger (Gary Grant). "What's going on here?" he wants...
