...that there was sustained selling pressure; it was just that no one seemed very anxious to buy. "The tape wasn't huffing and puffing, let alone skipping digits," said Monte Gordon, chief analyst for Bache & Co. "When there's selling pressure, believe me, you really feel it on the floor." The market broke sharply and declined 12.46 at midweek, going through the previous week's low and causing brokers to brace for a weekend selloff. It never came. The averages vacillated between gain and loss at week's end as investors obviously tried to decide just...
...garage. Like his wife, he frequently speaks in exclamation points. "I've got some lovely lamb chops here!" he shouts, coming in from a shopping trip. "One whole side of a baby lamb!"

The death of a Puerto Rican boy who intercepts a bullet meant for Nazemann seems far too circumstantial. Also questionable is Lumet's use of stomach-turners, such as the sequence where Nazemann jabs a long pin through his hand...
...amateur handwriting analyst, I thought that Jackie Kennedy's letter was more interesting for revealing her personality than as a collector's item [May 28]. The tall rounded capitals show her artistic ability, and the regularity in the size of her letters and the straightness of her lines indicate strong will and ability to stick to any course she chooses. She enjoys solitude, as the slight backward slant of her handwriting shows, although her large script reveals that she doesn't mind being the center of attention.
