...discovery was turned up in New York City, where the Oswald family lived for a time. Lee Oswald was a poor student and a chronic truant in his early teens. A psychiatric report concluded that he had schizophrenic tendencies and was "potentially dangerous," recommended that the boy be committed to an institution-but the city Family Court turned down the recommendation. Many of the other details of Oswald's early life-his disgruntled Marine Corps years, his 33-month stay in Moscow during an unsuccessful attempt to get Soviet citizenship, his marriage there to Hospital Pharmacist Marina Prusakova...
Though Marina was staying at the Paine house in nearby Irving, Oswald himself took a small $8-a-week room on North Beckley in Dallas, under the name of O. H. Lee-a play on his real name. He visited his wife on weekends. Once Marina found a carbine wrapped in a blanket and hidden in the Paines' garage. It was Oswald's. He had bought it from a Chicago mail-order house on March 20, along with a four-power telescopic sight. He had paid $19.95 for gun and sight and had instructed a gunsmith, located near...

At 4:15, the paper was reporting Lee Oswald's arrest and the murder of Dallas Policeman Tippit. It also carried a picture of the assassin's rifle and a map of the assassination scene. Demand was so heavy that although the Times Herald jumped its normal 200,000 press run by 82,000 copies, vendors hawked the 5? paper for as much...
...Purporting to show "the realism of grownup, contemporary sex" in America-not in England or France or Italy-Producer-Writer-Director Ben Maddow (The Savage Eye) serves up a mannered little pastiche of urban infidelities that is pure counterfeit. Husband Kevin McCarthy can't stand shrewish Wife Lee Grant, so he takes up with Model Viveca Lindfors, who is the mistress of his best friend Herbert Berghof. Rounding out the quintet, for no discernible reason except to exploit interracial dalliance, is Diana Sands as a footloose Negro photographer...
