...time when I was making my last movie, I was acting like a painter." Vadim, 47, who now shares his Paris menage with Lover Catherine Schneider and their one-year-old son, works primarily at night, putting his amateur erotica onto canvas. With his new movie, La Jeune Fille Assassinée, scheduled for release in the U.S. in June, and his autobiography ready for publication in France, Vadim hopes to have time to start working by sunlight. "I like to paint, but at the moment I am not satisfied with what I do," he confesses. "I would love...
...deadly blow to Shelepin's aspirations followed a disastrous trip to Britain earlier this month (TIME, April 14).

Ford did not, it should be noted, have any trouble getting his book published due to his position on the assassination, while simultaneously all the networks prohibited coverage of dissenting opinions and edited their programs on the subject to conform with the findings of the commission...
Another participant in the Politics of Conspiracy Conference was freelance journalist Ted Charach, a student of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Charach contends that, although Sirhan Sirhan did fire his gun in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel on the morning of June 5, 1968, Kennedy was in fact killed by a bullet from a second gun, placed directly in back of the Senator while Sirhan struck a pose in front of him, and with wild shots and dramatic gestures drew attention to himself. Sirhan, according to a psychiatric study done while he was in police custody, is extremely...
