...case of Jack Ruby, who faced a second murder trial before his death last week, a change of venue seemed almost absurd.

The USO sponsors tours by bigger names, and Bob Hope visits the troops regularly; still, the demand for entertainment is so insatiable that it has created a flourishing year-round vaudeville circuit...
