...wearing the rigid, corsetlike brace with which he supported his ailing back. Had Kennedy not worn it that November morning in 1963, he might conceivably be alive today. In Philadelphia last week an assistant counsel of the Warren Commission, Arlen Specter, pointed out that Harvey Oswald's first bullet, which struck the President in the neck, would not have proved fatal. Had J.F.K. not been wearing the brace, he suggested, the impact would probably have knocked him out of the line of fire. As it was, said Specter, "the President's back brace kept him in an erect...
...pinch a few). He danced tricky dance steps. He harmonized with the calypso band. Never looking, he plucked a bourbon-on-the-rocks from a silver tray and swung the glass to his lips. It was the same involuntary motion (though quite a different gesture) as the bullet-swatting in my dream. He was very gay. His wife looked beautiful.

Then Griese got greedy. Trying to hit Halfback Jim Finley, he hit Notre Dame's Tony Carey instead; on the very next play, Irish Halfback Bill Wolski sprinted 54 yds. for a TD, and a two-point conversion tied...
...head." Boggs shot Johnson once and Willis twice but, he said, Johnson got up and began running, yelling "Don't! Don't! Dont!" Boggs pursued him, hit him on the head with the revolver and a rock. After reloading, Boggs again shot Johnson, then pumped another bullet into Willis, who had stayed on the ground and was somehow still alive...
