...closing argument, Garrison tried to wrap up with sheer demagoguery what he had been unable to deliver in fact: that the Warren Commission report was a "fraud" and that the whole apparatus of the Federal Government was being used to hide the truth. He mentioned the defendant by name only once, all but confirming Defense Attorney F. Irving Dymond's charge that Shaw "was brought in here for no other purpose than to create a forum to present this attack on the Warren Commission." Garrison's last gasp did not impress the jury. The twelve men deliberated just...
Until Laurel and Crete, few lives had been lost, a fact that O'Connell considers miraculous. During January 1968 alone there were 576 derailments. At Dunreith, Ind., 250 residents had to be evacuated for 48 hours after two freight trains sideswiped, releasing flammable and poisonous liquids that resulted in a ten-hour fire and a huge explosion. The fire destroyed a cannery-Dunreith's major industry-and seven houses; cyanide pollution of the water persisted for several months. The wreck, which cost the railroad $ 1,000,000, was caused by a defective rail that would have cost...
Easing the Pressure. Most residents of the U.S.'s new towns find the environment congenial and become word-of-mouth community advertisers.

...proves exaggerated. The question remained as to whether Hanoi had finished making its point-and testing Nixon's resolve-or whether it was just beginning an even bloodier trial than the all-encompassing Tet offensive of a year ago. No one, in Washington or in Saigon, disputes the fact that the Communists have the strength to launch such a drive-if they are willing to accept the losses in manpower that it would surely entail...
...closest associates knew that he had suffered a heart attack last month and offered to resign. Persuaded to stay on, he relinquished much of his detailed, day-to-day work to Deputy Premier Yigal Allon. On the day before his death, Eshkol seemed unusually ebullient for a convalescent, a fact that troubled Allon, who recalled that his own father had been in especially high spirits just before he died. Eshkol scheduled a ministerial committee meeting for the next day, but in midmorning the Voice of Israel suddenly switched from advertising jingles to funeral music and Psalm readings and announced...
