"I'll go think about them-and talk with my lawyer," said Manchester. He seemed in no mood to yield. A monthly Manhattan tabloid, Books, quoted him as taking, around that time, the position: "Let's get out the book as I wrote it-and to hell with the Kennedys...

Using an electric knife-"It certainly sounds like a dentist, doesn't it?"-all went well until she reached the rlbs. They would not yield. She attacked with a huge chef's knife. Still no luck. Finally she put down the knife, rested her hands on the table, and looked straight into the camera: "People say that you just carve it into chops, but you try to do it. I certainly...
