...Rolls-Royce purred through the rainy evening to the London Clinic, and out stepped Britain's Queen Elizabeth, 38. She had come to end a 28-year estrangement between the royal family and the owner of a grey Rolls parked opposite: the Duchess of Windsor, 68. In a fourth-floor sitting room, the two women, both dressed in properly cheerful red, met by the chair of Edward, Duke of Windsor, 70, sitting up for the first time in three weeks after a series of eye operations.

Then he stepped up, stuck out his revolver and, as millions of televiewers watched, killed Oswald with one shot. That act, he said later, made him think he was "looking on history." He told his examiners that he thought: "I am above everybody. They cannot move...
Navy Secretary Fred Korth, in whose fourth-floor Pentagon office the press conference was being held, looked a bit bemused. He had never heard of Greene's startling idea. Finding his voice, Korth harrumphed: "Admittedly, this is not under construction at this time." Later, when a reporter wondered where troops would sit in an Africa-bound rocket, Korth lamely quipped: "They could stand; it's only a short trip...
