...hastily formed posse found him in his doorway, armed and snarling defiance: "Come and get me. I'm not taking any more of their bull." Although Held's brother-in-law pleaded with him to surrender and bullets shattered his shoulder, leg and right wrist, Held switched the .38 to his left hand, firing until it, too, was smashed. Taken to a guarded hospital bed, he never regained full consciousness, dying later from the complications of his many wounds. He left behind a trail of six people wounded, six others dead...
...most deserving candidate for the "title of Mr. Eleanor Roosevelt." Susskind retaliated on camera by ridiculing Buckley's mannerisms and calling them "symptoms of psychotic paranoia." Buckley did not add to his popularity by co-authoring a book called McCarthy and His Enemies with his brother-in-law, L. Brent Bozell.

Moreover, a Washington bash would certainly have increased pressures on the young couple. Jack Foisie, a Los Angeles Times foreign correspondent and brother of Mrs. Rusk, explained to the press that the families wanted "to give the kids a break on the takeoff, because they...
...simple cover was devised. Rusk went to California early in the week, accompanied only by security men, to brief a group of businessmen in Beverly Hills on the war. He then went up to the Bay Area ostensibly to see Brother-in-Law Foisie, who had returned from his post in Bangkok for medical treatment. At the campus church, the wedding roster read Smith-Foisie rather than Smith-Rusk. Although perhaps 200 people in California and Washington knew of the wedding, the essential details were not known until hours before the wedding. One of the few hitches occurred just before...
