...called discount stores are nonetheless multiplying fast; they now account for about $15 billion in annual sales. S. S. Kresge Co., which last year passed Korvette as the biggest discount chain, has 204 K Mart discount stores and plans to add 50 new ones in the next year. In the face of such breathless expansion, as well as the aggressive stances of established department stores, many a marginal discounter may be doomed.

...Sole Assassin. In the hour following the assassination, normally lucid people did strange things. Since the murdered President had been scheduled to make a luncheon address at the Dallas Trade Mart, Lady Bird's press secretary, Liz Carpenter, assumed that the Vice President would make the speech. She hurried to the mart only to discover, of course, that scarcely anyone was there. In Parkland Hospital, medical attendants struggled to remove the critically wounded Governor's clothes.
