Though it comes not quite a year after the mysterious disappearance last July of former Teamster Boss Jimmy Hoffa, the 177-page PROD report does not dwell on the union's violent history and associations with organized crime. Instead, drawing chiefly on Teamster financial records filed, as required by law, with the Department of Labor, it focuses on the style of life enjoyed by Teamster officials-and finds it far removed from that of the rank and file, who pay $ 120-5300 a year in dues to support it.

...that her troubles were over. Screenwriting jobs dried up overnight. She was forced to sell her beloved farm in Pleasantville, N.Y., and, at a particularly low ebb, clerk in a Manhattan department store.

Critics of the single-bullet theory also dwell on the relatively undamaged condition of the bullet recovered near Connally's stretcher at Parkland Hospital. They marvel sarcastically at all of the wounds this bullet is supposed to have inflicted, while remaining so "pristine." The bullet is only slightly flattened at its rear, with a mere 2 to 2.5 grains of its soft lead core missing...
