...Manhattan's Central Park, across Fifth Avenue from Jacqueline Kennedy's apartment,* a 42-year-old stock clerk named Angel Angelof waited inside a women's public lavatory. When Lilah Kistler, 24, a Pennsylvania physician's daughter who earned $80 a week walking dogs in the park, tied a Hungarian puli to the fence outside and walked into the lavatory, Angelof killed her with one shot from his bone-handled .45-cal. revolver...
...Fortas?", asked the salesman at Welch's Hardware Store in Westport, Conn. Dubiously, the Chief Justice-designate of the U.S. fingered the new, chemically treated dustcloth, examining it carefully by sight and feel.

...Political Act." Later he worked for a time as a $2-an-hour food-store clerk. His former employer, John Weidner, like several others who know him, remembers his frequently expressed hatred for Israel and his strident Jordanian loyalty. Sol liked to boast that he was not an American citizen (as a resident alien, Sirhan could not legally own a concealable firearm in California). A Dutch underground agent who assisted Jews during World War II, Weidner says of Sol: "Over and over he told me that the Jews had everything, but they still used violence to get pieces of Jordanian...
