...historic Park Hyatt hotel, with cheeky, cleverly worded queries designed to produce newsworthy answers, seemed to be auditioning for the White House press corps. The President looked into the room holding 550 people around circular tables in the hotel's French Renaissance-style splendor, and called on Didi Goldmark, 63, a former libel defense lawyer from New Hope, Pa. "Since the inception of the Iraqi war," she said, "I'd like to know the approximate total of Iraqis who have been killed.

...young man, Charles Goldmark saw his father's political career blighted by accusations that he was a Communist. The father, John, a Washington State Democratic representative, won vindication in a notable 1963 libel suit.

The assailant left Annie Goldmark, 43, dead and her husband and two sons critically injured. Colin died several days later. Late last week, Derek...

Rice, an unemployed steelworker with a history of mental troubles and a record of two arrests for indecent exposure, had reportedly become fascinated with anti-Communism and anti-Semitism. Police found stacks of material on Communism and Judaism, as well as information on the Goldmark family, in the apartment where he was staying. Prosecutor William Downing said Rice seems to have attacked the Goldmarks in the belief that they...
...Although Goldmark reported that Bundy and others at the White House meeting strongly maintained that a final decision on the resumption of atmospheric testing has not been made, sources in the Senate indicated that U.S. tests in the near future are a certainty. Few Senators were persuaded by their visitors of the inadvisability of continued testing...
