...more likely that Markham and Gargan "borrowed" a small boat from a pier some 200 yds. from the ferry landing and rowed Kennedy to the Edgartown side. According to this theory, Markham and Kennedy walked to the Senator's room in the Shiretown Inn, a block from the waterfront, while Gargan returned the boat to Chappaquiddick and drove back to the cottage. If this version is true, the question remains why Kennedy would conceal the facts and invent the swimming story. One explanation might be that Teddy was making a rather misdirected effort to absolve Markham and Gargan...
Initially, Nixon wants to buy the seven waterfront acres, including the house and gardens, with their flourishing trees, for an estimated $400,000. He is also dickering for an option on the remaining 13 acres of the estate, to assign to a "friendly" buyer of his choice. One of the last points to be worked out was the purchase of some of the handmade furniture. The President has also been negotiating the sale of his 12-room New York City apartment, and Pat said they have had 16 offers. It is expected to bring the President about $350,000; when...

When news of the uprising reaches Odessa, thousands of supporters rush to the waterfront to send aid or to salute the men of the Potemkin. These supporters are slaughtered by the cossacks who have been ordered to suppress the demonstration. They march ruthlessly down the great flight of stone stairs leading to the waterfront killing anyone before them: men, women, cripples, infants, children...
...distinguished acting career. A graduate of the militantly proletarian Group Theater of the late '30s, he was the quintessential Willy Loman in Broadway's first production of Death of a Salesman. Conventionally cast as a Hollywood heavy in many of his countless films (among them: Thieves' Highway, On the Waterfront), he almost invariably brought glimmerings of insight to even the most routine parts. At the age of 57, he is quite clearly ready for the challenge of Lear. His king is blind, incurably foolish, a man eventually so scoured by suffering that his death is like a saint's birth...
