...wall in the snack room on the third floor of Holyoke Center are greeting cards from sick employees and a white-index card reminding employees that a woman who broke her hip has her birthday on April 19. In another end of the room, a low-level supervisor with sandy, nondescript looks and saddle shoes is smoking cigarettes, and he is speaking with an older worker. She seems more talkative than he is, but only after the reporter has stopped talking to her supervisor does she feel free to speak. She has been here 13 years and she laments...
...strong leftist political movement during the sixties? Obviously, many of the FBI's maneuvers were crazy and ineffectual, such as the investigation of a teen-age girl who wrote to the SWP for a school project or the bureau's ludicrous attempts to write divisive letters in the "hip" lingo of the Movement. Many liberals would go further and argue that the whole enterprise was basically a simple product of Hoover's obsessions, because none of the groups targeted represented a plausible threat to national security. But if one believes, as I do, that the anti-war movement played...
...most recent trouble began in March with a satiric and rather rough column in the Philadelphia Inquirer that portrayed him as a swaggering pol who spoke and thought like Archie Bunker.

Her husband shrugged his shoulders, and as his jacket lifted with his body a revolver showed itself on his hip. "What could I do?" he asked...
Hughes had been bedridden since he broke his hip in a fall in 1973, his doctors explained. An operation in London to insert a pin in his femur failed, and Hughes would not submit to a second operation. As a result, he was in constant pain and developed an addiction to codeine. He refused to take other medication or eat properly. Hughes was a despotic, cranky patient who reduced his personal physicians to the status of mere valets. Three days before his death, he went into shock, probably due to a stroke. As his condition worsened, his aides became gravely...
