...avoidance of federal money and control is small consolation to people who do not share in the general prosperity. Just upriver from the Freeport Sulphur Co., amid signs advertising bail bondsmen and flood insurance, are the offices of white Attorney Joseph Defley, a former FBI agent who 14 years ago married the sheriff of Plaquemines' daughter and moved down from Chicago. One of his clients is Merlis Broussard, 45, a barrel-chested black construction worker who once helped dig a crayfish pond behind Chalin Perez's new home. They have just won a federal court suit...
...holes in Ray's story. Ray insisted that when he left Los Angeles in March 1968, he had not decided to go to Atlanta, where King lived. The committee produced a change-of-address card mailed in Los Angeles asking that Ray's mail be forwarded to general delivery, Atlanta. Similarly, Ray claimed he was not pursuing King in Atlanta on April 1 of that year, but the committee introduced an Atlanta laundry slip for that date bearing the name of the alias Ray had been using. Another example: asked why only his fingerprints appeared on the rifle...

Arafat and other Palestinian leaders blamed Zionist and CIA agents. But Ahmed Jebreel, head of the pro-Syrian Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, was the logical suspect. Six weeks earlier, two of his commandos were killed by men thought to be members of the P.L.F. It appeared that Jebreel, in seeking to even the score, made a tragic miscalculation. Only an hour before the explosion, the 28-member central committee of the P.L.F. had unexpectedly adjourned a meeting. Thus the intended victims of the blast walked away unharmed...
...concrete, brick and stone. For two decades, Stone produced variations of the New Delhi embassy, with its boxlike shape, gold-leaf columns, lacy concrete grille, fountains and reflecting pool. These works were frequently criticized as superficial and "bargain Taj Mahal," but Stone remained busy with important commissions. His General Motors building in Manhattan was completed in 1968 and Washington's John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts...
