Ground broken for Kennedy Library memorial in Dorchester
Ground breaking for the John Fitzgerald Kennedy memorial library took place on a misty Boston Harbor peninsula site in Dorchester. Sen Edward M Kennedy described the project as more than a display of documents, a personal memorial linking past and future, with construction set to begin soon and finish in about 24% years. The ceremony drew Kennedy family members Jacqueline Onassis Rose and children John and Caroline, while local residents protested traffic and job concerns near a nearby low income housing project. Joseph Kennedy pledged to meet with demonstrators later that week.

Soviet dissident criticizes Carter on human rights tactics
Roy Medvedev, a 52 year old Soviet historian, told Newsweek the USSR may have deleted the right of free exit from the USSR in the new constitution to avoid showing weakness. He said 1977 saw intensified authorities pressure on dissidents and arrests sanctioned by top Communist leaders. Medvedev praised Kissinger for behind the scenes work to ease dissidents’ fate and argued U.S. pressure could be counterproductive.
