...morning of his last day of life, he arose early, left his Fort Worth hotel, walked with buoyant stride through a slight mist to a nearby parking lot, where several thousand Texans were waiting behind barricades to see him. Explaining why Jackie had not accompanied him, the President laughed. "Mrs. Kennedy," he said, "is busy organizing herself. It takes a little longer, you know, but then she looks so much better than we do."

...Reas reports in the Southern Medical Journal that he used a new mist-making drug, N-acetylcysteine (trade named Mucomyst by Mead Johnson & Co.) on 28 patients aged 7 to 22. He clapped a face mask on his patients twice a day, before meals, and got them to inhale Mucomyst aerosol supplied under gentle pressure by a small pump.

...summer sky still breaks over the land in splinters of green, gold or luminous waves of grey, staining the hills blue and purple and vermilion, heaping the valleys with shimmering veils of mist. In that weird, wet Atlantic light-or so they say-the swarthy chieftains and pale queens who once ruled the five kingdoms of Celtic Ireland still clatter across country. As the island's endless sleight-of-sky creates and dissolves horizons, the landscape seems dreamily unreal.
