...commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald, 24, the Marx-spouting ne'er-do-well, had fired a mail-order rifle from a sixth-floor window of Dallas' Texas School Book Depository, killing John Kennedy and wounding Texas Governor John Connally as they rode by in an open limousine. The report also said that the fleeing Oswald had murdered Dallas Patrolman J. D. Tippit within an hour after he shot Kennedy.

Pittsburgh Builder Roland Catarinella called the low-income housing market back home "100% dead," said he had canceled construction of a 100-apartment project. William Harvey of Bettendorf, Iowa, said he had lopped five men off his 30-man payroll, and even at that was just about covering overhead. "When it becomes more than I can afford," he said bitterly, "I'm going to say the hell with it for two or three years...
