Supreme Court Watchers, devoted to a spectator sport even more decorous than cricket or chess-by-mail, broke out in a buzz of raised eyebrows last week. In a rare combination, liberal Justice William O. Douglas joined conservative John Marshall Harlan in a dissent against the rest of the Court. Their seven colleagues had reversed the Utah Supreme Court to reinstate a jury's award of $10,000 to injured Railroad Worker Claude Dennis. For Justice Douglas, it was the first time in many years that he had sided against such a jury award to an injured worker...
...deluge of advertising that floods the mails - and never seems so insist ent as during the holiday season - some times infuriates by its bulk as much as it influences by its appeal. Each year the public is hit by an onslaught of 48 billion direct-mail ads, and the business of compiling mailing lists has become a highly automated industry made up of dozens of firms that spare no effort to capture another name. This year they will gross close to $1 billion renting names and addresses to anyone who has anything to sell. Lists can be rented with...
...Jenkins, 45, has been closer to Johnson longer than anyone else on his personal staff. Jenkins joined Johnson in 1939, only two years after he was elected to Congress, and quickly became his top administrative aide.

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 the Paine home, not only to mount the scope but to sight the weapon in for him (cost: $6). Marina wanted Oswald...
Though he never got his day in court, and though he denied any guilt, there could be little doubt of Oswald's guilt. FBI agents checked the gun and its serial number, traced it to the Chicago mail-order house and found the order slip. It was a 6.5-mm., Carcano, bolt-action surplus Italian military carbine. It had been sent to an "A. Hidell" at a post-office box in Dallas. That name and box number were found later among Oswald's effects. Serial number records showed that Oswald's was the same rifle that...
