Religious Faith. But none of that could dispel the pain. Said Housewife Mary Lawrence: "I feel for parents who have no religious faith. What can you do if you love a child and then lose him? You have to take your strength from somewhere else." Said State Highway Patrolman Dan Gust: "I've seen a lot of accidents. But when you get right down to it, you get hurt just the same as anybody else." Gust's son, Steven, 17, had died in the crash...
ANOTHER loser was John Connally, still the most popular politician in the state. Connally has a reputation for political savvy, but lately he has done a lot to dispel that image, starting with joining the Republican Party in the depths of the Watergate scandal.

Witnesses revealed that Mary Jo had left her pocketbook and keys at the cottage, hardly the actions of someone eager to return to her motel room. She had a .09 per cent alcohol level in her blood, (equivalent to 3 1/2 to 5 ounces of eighty to ninety proof liquor), although her friends testified she had not been drinking heavily at the party. Deputy Sheriff Christopher Look observed a dark sedan with Massachusetts license plates that began with...
