Defense Secretary Laird supports fewer draftees and a possible unilateral executive action if Congress delays. A 150000-troop withdrawal by July 1 aims to ease draft calls, with service reductions by Marines Army Navy and Air Force. The plan hinges on war progress, peace talks, and enemy moves.

Ted Kennedy and Chappaquiddick Tragedy Reexamined
The column argues Kennedy dived into inky waters to rescue Mary Jo Kopechne but failed to find her in the submerged Oldsmobile. It suggests he blamed himself, sought to protect Gargan, and only learned of a body when a ferry worker notified him at the Chappaquiddick ferry landing. Kennedy then hurried to the police station in a somber mood.
