Look Magazine to Delete Sections in Kennedy Book
Look magazine reached a tentative accord to cut 1,600 words from William Manchester's "official" account of Kennedy's assassination and modify other parts. Mrs. Kennedy's personal material would be removed while passages about the Kennedy-Johnson relationship remain. Harper & Row is aware and may publish in April. The settlement aims to avoid a court fight, with Look to begin serial publication January 10 and a ruling expected next Tuesday if no accord is reached.
