...assassination of President John Kennedy. The report rejects as "farfetched speculation" the claim that the agency had connections with either Assassin Lee Harvey Oswald or Nightclub Owner Jack Ruby, who killed Oswald two days after Kennedy's death. Similarly the commission dismantled the theory that E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis, a sometime CIA informer, had participated in the assassination. As evidence, proponents have cited newsmen's photographs of three men taken into custody by Dallas police after the assassination; two of the men, identified by police as derelicts, bear a faint resemblance to Hunt and Sturgis...
...could the commission find any evidence that Hunt and Sturgis had known each other before 1971. One unidentified witness asserted that Sturgis, born Frank Fiorini, had taken his name from the fictional character Hank Sturgis in Hunt's 1949 novel Bimini Run.

Although Shaw has appeared in over two dozen movies (he was the conned con man in The Sting), the theater is his true territory.

Meanwhile, packs of seven, eight-and nine-year-old abandoned children have run wild. They ruthlessly hunt food together and live where underground railways used to run, pathetic proofs that homemaking is reverting to something more like "cave-keeping"-that civilization is returning to original rubble...
...current undergraduates, the job hunt after college will only get harder. Richard Freeman, an associate professor of economics at Harvard, believes that seniors will face a long delay before they find the jobs they want. Says he: "An awful lot of people are going to end up in nonmanagerial, nonprofessional jobs, and the situation is not going to get any better until the 1980s." College enrollments, already dropping as a result of the end of the baby boom, may well begin to fall even faster as students become aware that a college degree is no longer an automatic passport...
