...unusual for a defendant to claim that he was trapped into committing a crime. Often he is speaking the truth, at least by his own lights. Law enforcement officers regularly "solicit" criminal activity by playing up to homosexuals, using decoy letters to trap postal thieves, making narcotics "buys," and getting their pockets picked. Entrapment, in fact, was the chief defense in a trial that closed in Manhattan last week. The case concerned the three men who were arrested last February in a bizarre conspiracy to blow up the Statue of Liberty (TIME...

The publicized plan called for moving Oswald in an armored car from the basement garage at headquarters. This was a subterfuge, for Curry really intended to use the armored vehicle as a decoy, spiriting Oswald away in an unmarked police car. The police checked the garage area and the anteroom through which Oswald would be escorted. Parked cars were examined, and everybody was shooed out of the garage. Then police admitted dozens of newsmen, screening them carefully...
