Tragic Timetable. Back home?it was now after midnight?Whitman stabbed his wife three times in the chest, apparently as she lay sleeping, and drew the bed sheet over her nude body. Then he returned to the note?partially typewritten, partially handwritten, partially printed?that was to be his valedictory.

Time evidently lay heavy on Coppolino's hands. His wife would leave the house in their blue Chevrolet every morning for her job in a Nutley laboratory. Coppolino, according to the watchful neighbors, would stroll out to his mailbox and then up the street to visit Marge Farber, whose husband had gone to work in a Manhattan insurance office. Then, on July 30, 1963, Farber...
...paper mill, was only 20 when his right leg had to be amputated because of bone cancer. In less than a year, the disease recurred with its usual malignancy. To Dr. Ray Houghton, an osteopathic physician of White Pigeon, it seemed that Rink's only chance lay in cross-transplants of cancer tissues with other patients-a bold technique under investigation at Roswell Park Memorial Institute in Buffalo (TIME, March...
