...miner in Greene County, Pa. "But we've got to get a decent contract somehow. I'm not the kind to fire a shot or throw a rock myself. But we've got some hotheads in the membership who might. If anybody tries to move coal to power plants around here, there's going to be hell to pay. We've been letting coal go through for private homes and hospitals all along. But we've got to draw the line somewhere." With the National Guard and state police escorting coal trucks, confrontations became...
...contracted to strip into classified maps. The only KGB contact suggested in the book is the mysterious oil geologist George de Mohrenschildt, who befriended the Oswalds in the Dallas area. He is portrayed as exaggerating the Oswalds' marital problems in order to provide a reason for Oswald to move away from Marina.

But there is a cheery Catch-22: in their waywardness people probably do themselves no more harm, and very possibly less, than...
...came the 15th. Ali bravely swung for the knockout that alone could have saved his championship. His rallies were reminiscent of the magnificent final rounds he had fought in the past?against Joe Frazier and Ken Norton?but there was no power in his punches. He slowed, seemed to move as if underwater, locked in leaden embrace with an equally exhausted Spinks. Finally, unable to fight any longer, Muhammad Ali absorbed two last-second uppercuts, and accepted the final bell, beaten, but on his feet...
