...dreary twelve-year marriage. Knowing that his wife Prudence (Deborah Kerr) has hardly been faithful herself, he substitutes aspirin for her birth control pills in hopes that she'll become pregnant by her lover so he can sue for divorce. Meanwhile, the Hardcastle maid decides to yield to her boy friend's advances and swipes Madam's pills for protection...
...California. Some of the pictures were taken on the day Kennedy was shot. in America's procrustean political mechanisms. While Kennedy assured such blocs he would represent them, he also tried to give them a sense that their own participation, wholly apart from his own future, would in time yield results. The upshot of his pitch was a multiple victory: alienated blacks and poor whites voted en masse in Indiana and California, clinched Kennedy wins, and got a brief feeling that their votes actually meant something...
Despite the intensified fighting. General William Westmoreland, who will yield his command of U.S. forces in Viet Nam next month to become Army Chief of Staff, offered a characteristically optimistic assessment of the war during a visit to the L.B.J.

...over, demonstrate clearly enough that personal involvement in the civil rights struggle does not lack opportunities for expression. From that observation it is tempting to draw overoptirnistic conclusions: that the conscience of the white is at last effectively engaged, and that the estrangement of the races will thus certainly yield, however long that may take, to the influence of reason and good will. But such conclusions overstate the depth of white participation-and underrate the Negro's new self-assertive mood. At this critical juncture in relations between white and black, true rapprochement may be farther away than ever...
