...came rolling down the stairs. Whoever did the shooting slammed the door." Gabour turned his younger son over, saw he had been shot in the head. He was dead. So was Gabour's sister. Critically injured, his wife and his older son were bleeding profusely. Gabour and his brother-in-law dragged their dead and wounded to the 27th floor, sought help but could find none...
Familiar Formula. The six-week campaign followed the tried-and-true Kennedy formula. Brother-in-law Steve Smith mobilized minions and money with customary efficiency. The Senator, when not in Africa, campaigned happily up and down the sidewalks of New York with a dazed-looking Silverman in tow. In a ludicrous attempt to offset Bobby's righteous rhetoric and familial charisma, the opposition made the wild charge that Kennedy opposed Klein because Boss Jones is a Negro.

...Carpet. The money factory was finally closed down by accident. Late in 1964, Bojarsky proudly related his success to an old friend from the Polish army, offered to let him share the profits. It was not long before the new partner and his brother-in-law were carrying bundles of the phony bills to the post office and exchanging them for 5% treasury bonds. On the trail at last, the police tailed the pair to Bojarsky's modest home in Paris, found nothing in searching it until one cop tripped on the carpet, flipping the hidden switch that opened...
