DIED. CHARLES CRENSHAW, 68, one of the doctors who treated John F. Kennedy's gunshot wounds; of natural causes; in Fort Worth, Texas. In his controversial 1992 book, JFK: Conspiracy of Silence, Crenshaw argued that the President was shot twice from the front in addition to having been shot from behind--suggesting the involvement of more than one gunman. The Warren Commission had found that a lone Lee Harvey Oswald fired from behind...
...proliferation of videos with the label “director’s cut” embossed across the front, like a “confidential” stamp. Mostly, however, these were just unrated versions; they included a few extra coital thrusts or lingered too long on a gunshot wound...
...Third, cold war politics made for some strange bedfellows and unsavory alliances. The unintended consequences of gunshot weddings can be considerable: America's support, say, for various tin-pot despots in the name of anticommunism was not the stuff of greatness.

Farrakhan, described as "his father's right hand," remains in fair condition...
...girl who married the dazzlingly brilliant Philip Graham. It was her father who owned the Washington Post, but her husband was given majority control of the paper on the theory that no man should ever work for his wife. When she found the manic-depressive Graham dead of a gunshot wound in the bathroom of their country house in 1963, this "doormat wife" at 46 was thrust into running the company. Men in suits thought they would be able to wrest it from someone so crippled by anxiety that she practiced saying "Merry Christmas" before giving her first staff party...
