...Scheim's account on this point is impressive. He cites the statements of people viewing Kennedy's motorcade in front of the fence, who felt the bullets just above their heads and even dropped to the ground to evade the shots.

Moreover, while the dollar has gone down by more than 40% against the Japanese yen and the West German mark, it has fallen much less against the currencies of South Korea and other newly industrializing countries of Asia, which account for an increasing share of exports...
