...back to Dallas for the trial, and I don't know what bug got hold of me . . . Suddenly the feeling, the emotional feeling, came within me that someone owed this debt to our beloved President to save her the ordeal of coming back." As exclusives go, however, the leaked transcript fell somewhat short of perfection. It presented few, if any, surprises: much the same ground had been covered during Ruby's lengthy trial in Dallas. Moreover, most of its thunder had been stolen by the Dallas Morning News, which, only three weeks after the Warren Commission...

If the pigmentation is not present, the spatulate fingers are usually due to lung disease...
...MILK, which once arrived from the dairy in a pail, then in bottles, then mostly in leak-prone cartons, is now flowing back by the pailful. Several hundred dairies are now delivering milk in five, six-or ten-quart containers, consisting of a cardboard box shaped to fit easily into the refrigerator; inside is a plastic bag with a dispensing nozzle. Advantages: the milk, protected from exposure to air and from the "heat shock" caused by removal from the refrigerator, lasts much longer, takes up less room-and is delivered...
