Seale did return next morning but ?unknown to some of the visiting committee???Oswald told him he could not address the prisoners unless he urged acceptance of the final offer. Seale refused, and left for California. As for William Kunstler, a few members of the committee have charged that he told the prisoners to hold out for amnesty; he denies this. Kunstler did, however, tell the convicts that representatives of "Third World nations are waiting for you across the street." This...

Reagan denied having any presidential plans, but did hint that he might go to the convention as a favorite son if there is "a need to avoid a divisive
...remained for pipe-smoking Governor Harrison to lay the biggest piece of fiscal news down before the House Committee???namely, that the Federal Reserve was in the market for U. S. securities as never before. Its purchases were part of the Government's new determination to pump credit into the country?a process its friends call "reflation" instead of inflation?under the provisions of the Glass-Steagall bill. Not until its statement was issued later in the week was the full extent of the Federal Reserve's pumpings evident to the country...
