...President exulted too soon. Last week, thanks to an incredible blunder by Housing and Home Finance Agency Administrator Robert Weaver, the pro gram was dead. Its demise was hastened by the curiosity of Michigan Republican James Harvey, 43, who found HHFA experts suspiciously reluctant to circulate the regulations covering financial eligibility for rent aid. Harvey demanded a copy and, as a member of the House's housing subcommittee, got one immediately. To his astonishment, Harvey found that under Weaver's HHFA-approved rules relating to the elderly and the handicapped (who could collect up to 70% of their...

Mrs. Marguerite Oswald, 58, then announced that she would use the money to fly to Russia to pursue the will-o'-the-wisp of the innocence of her son, Lee Harvey. "The Russians haven't turned over everything to the U.S." about her son's stay in the Soviet Union, she said. "I thought that, being his mother, I might build up enough evidence to ask that this case be reopened." By some morbid twist, one Oswald letter from Russia...
