Ballistics experts have fired this type of bullet through 25 in. of tough elmwood and 47 in. of pine-and it has come to rest similarly intact (on the other hand, it has also been fired through cotton wadding and emerged misshapen). Lattimer has cut up two grains of this bullet's lead core and found they would yield 41 fragments-more than found in Connally's wounds. No one has estimated the weight of the metal X-rayed in or recovered from Connally at more than two grains. Thus, although this bullet is surprisingly undamaged, its condition...

The bunker deeply distrusts Juan Carlos for his democratic leanings...
...practically a preurban village by this point in the speech, is concerned with the welfare of "the innocent, the powerless and the least resilient members of our society." It has all the homespun virtues Ford feels so much fondness for; its sense of humanity and of national community remains intact, perhaps even strengthened by the crisis...
