...before and after the accident," said Dinis. He wants to explore not only the immediate questions surrounding the fatal accident but also the larger discrepancies in Kennedy's public accounting of that night. The district attorney will call the ferrymen who carried Kennedy and his friends back and forth from Edgartown to Chappaquid dick, the owner of the Shiretown Inn, where the Senator was staying, and the local manager of the New England Telephone Co., whose records may disclose what calls the members of the Kennedy party had made, and precisely when...
Because the mite abhors light, it remains burrowed beneath the surface of the skin during daytime, venturing forth only in the darkness. Thus, it cannot be detected even by careful scrutiny in front of a mirror.

Other times he will be more philosophical: "I know it's my fault. It was impossible for me to foresee these things." He has only three ambitions now. One is to move closer to his children in Palo Alto, Calif. The second is to visit once...
Every morning at 8, the patrol sallies forth in an old black hearse to kill rats with fluoroacetamide poison, calcium cyanide and .22 pistols. "It's an impossible job," says Westbrook. "The gestation period for rats is 21 days. A healthy female has a litter of twelve every four weeks. We have to kill constantly just to keep pace." The real solution lies in cleaning up the city and training residents to make their homes unfit for vermin. Westbrook is not optimistic. "Even if we had strict sanitation laws, it's doubtful that people would obey them...
