...Jackson, a federal grand jury charged 19 men, including Neshoba County Sheriff Lawrence Rainey and his chief deputy, Cecil Price, with conspiring to violate the civil rights of the three young civil rights workers-Andrew Goodman, 20, Michael Schwerner, 24, and James Chancy, 21, who were shot dead near Philadelphia, Miss., in 1964. In a separate indictment, the grand jury charged twelve men with conspiring to "intimidate, threaten, and coerce" Hattiesburg Farmer Vernon Dahmer, who died when his home was fire-bombed last year. One man, Sam H. Bowers Jr., 42, Imperial Wizard of the White Knights...

Asked about it on Meet the Press, Author William Manchester reiterated what he had reported in a Look installment of The Death of a President: every male Kennedy aide, except Dr. George Burkley, had insultingly ducked the swearing-in. Stoughton's pictures show that Manchester is wrong...
Johnson asked that Mrs. Kennedy stand beside him during the swearing-in to emphasize the continuity of the U.S. presidency. Jackie obliged, but Manchester emphasized that the gulf was now so wide that none of the photos taken of the ceremony by White House Photographer Cecil Stoughton showed "the presence of a single male Kennedy aide." Indeed, Manchester says that Mary Gallagher, Mrs. Kennedy's personal secretary, watched Kenneth O'Donnell "pacing the corridor like a caged tiger, his hands clapped over his ears as though to block the oath...
