Close-Up. Other witnesses said they saw Ruby hanging around headquarters on Saturday, Nov. 23, as well. Then on Sunday morning, Jack Ruby parked his car in a downtown parking lot, walked to a Western Union office to send a $25 money order to Stripper Little Lynn, a faithful former employee who was in straits in Fort Worth. A Western Union employee testified that he stamped Ruby's receipt with his electric clocker at 11:17 a.m. Ruby seemed neither upset nor in a hurry, exchanged pleasantries and departed. According to police measurements, Ruby walked...

The group included doctors, lawyers, day laborers, college students, a veterinarian and a politician. When they registered at the door, they were asked to pocket their wristwatches.

Fortnight ago, the day before he was scheduled to return to Moscow, Nosenko told colleagues he was going off for lunch at a downtown restaurant. When he failed to return next morning, frantic Soviet officials ordered all the remaining Russians at the hotel into a delegation compound and stripped Nosenko's room of all his personal effects. They seemed particularly agitated when they could not find his valise. At last, the Russians called in the Swiss police. In vain, the cops checked Switzerland's hospitals, morgues, hotels, railroad stations, airports and border outposts. Nosenko had totally vanished...
