Based on a study of white patients diagnosed between 1940 and 1969 in 100 hospitals throughout the country, the 217-page report contains bad news for victims of lung and pancreatic tumors.

...ceiling. "The last shot was fatal," said Hassan-though he may not have told the whole story. Paris' Le Nouvel Observateur reported that those who saw Oufkir's body the next morning said that one bullet had hit him in the stomach, another near the lung, a third in the right arm, and a fourth in the back of his neck emerging through his left eye-too many wounds for a suicide...
