...half-crazed dishwasher who said he had been directed by a "vision" to kill Teamster Hoffa. He fired several shots at Hoffa with a BB pistol, pinked Jimmy's hide with a few pellets. Tough little Jimmy went fiercely after his assailant, planted a dandy right on his jaw; a Hoffa crony then kicked the would-be assassin. The man required 14 stitches in his scalp, was taken away to jail. Taking this incident as evidence of "hostility" against their client, Hoffa's hopeful lawyers swiftly moved for a mistrial.

An enormous head, with goggle eyes and a whopper jaw, was balanced on a frail body by means of a neck of extreme tenuity; and stooping shoulders with a long slouching gait did not add anything of grace or beauty."
