Maryellen's sister Nance, 26, shared a Georgetown townhouse with Mary Jo Kopechne and two other girls. She was graduated from the Newton (Mass.) College of the Sacred Heart in 1964, and did public relations for the Norfolk County Tuberculosis and Health Association before she got a job, through an employment agency, in Ted Kennedy's office. Discussing the inquest, she remarks: "Anonymity is the name of the game when you're a staff person, and it's very tough to all of a sudden be in the public...

There to bestow the crown was her proud father, who stole a few hours away from the White...
Conflict is seeping downward in the educational system. In Norfolk, Va., 300 students of the predominantly Negro Booker T. Washington High School walked out in protest over the dismissal of a football coach and next fall's football schedule, which does not include any conference games against white schools. New Rochelle High School, near New York City, was forced to close after a disruption over the stationing of a policeman at the school because of previous trouble. Vandalism, violence and vituperative dissent on a broad variety of issues shut down four New York City high schools last week...
