Later, in the corridor, Secret Service Chauffeur Bill Greer came up to her and sobbed, "Oh Mrs. Kennedy, oh my God, oh my God, I didn't mean to do it, I didn't hear, I should have swerved the car, I couldn't help it."

A second set of X rays, forwarded to the President's longtime friend and personal physician, the Mayo Clinic's Dr. James C. Cain, gave added evidence that the gall bladder contained stones.
