...death of Mary Jo Kopechne on Chappaquiddick Island last month does not belong in the same category as these and similar scandal-tinged tragedies. Edward Kennedy has denied all charges of indiscretion with the young woman, and there is neither proof nor convincing speculation to the contrary. Yet his inconsistent and clearly incomplete explanations have allowed doubts to persist that involve much more than Kennedy's political future. The fortunes of the Democratic Party in the 1972 presidential election have been affected; so, perhaps, have been some of the liberal causes that Ted Kennedy espoused...
...will be back in front of the cameras after 26 years, and the part is made to order. As Agent Letisha Van Allen, Mae West sets up shop on a huge bed to interview handsome young men-prospective victims for voracious, transsexual Myra Breckinridge. There was no press conference fanfare over 20th Century's latest casting coup ("Mae likes the press, all right," explained a studio flack, "but individually, one by one"); the word was simply passed that Miss West would share top billing with Raquel Welch (Myra) and get a minimum of $350,000 for her role.

...ecoactivists include groups as straight-arrow as the Girl Scouts, who last week campaigned for clean air in places ranging from Hartford, Conn., to smog-threatened Fairfax, Va. Among other young ecoactivists are the Ashland (Wis.) High School juniors who recently demonstrated in support of Duluth's Pollution Enforcement Conference. Alarmed at the growing damage to Lake Superior's ecology, they plan to confront dumpers of industrial wastes that are slowly polluting the only Great Lake that can still be called clean...
Even the War Resisters League and the Workshop in Nonviolence have joined the cause by devoting the August issue of their magazine, WIN, to ecological manifestos. One reason for youthful concern with environmental damage is simple: the young will have to live with it. "If these problems are not resolved in ten years," frets David Sachs, 24, president of the Stanford University Conservation Group, "we will wipe ourselves out in 30 years." Not quite-but Sachs has a point. Says Biologist Barry Commoner, chairman of the St. Louis Committee for Environmental Information: "We don't really know what...
