Iris Murdoch (A Severed Head) has put readers on warning that novels by Oxford philosophy dons are apt to baffle as well as entertain. The same warning applies to Accident, by Nicholas Mosley (who is, coincidentally, the son of Sir Oswald Mosley, former chief of the British Union of Fascists), which is about an Oxford philosophy don, and which raises the art of the intellectual tease to the level of mild torture. There is no doubt that in Accident a fictional design of subtlety and distinction has been attempted. But it is a literary jigsaw puzzle with perhaps some extra...
...three successive days, Author Stafford merely set a tape recorder whirling and asked 58-year-old Marguerite Oswald, mother of Lee Harvey Oswald, to talk nonstop. She complied readily, for a price of course ($1,500). Anybody who read anything at all about Mrs. Oswald after the Kennedy assassination will know what to expect. For the rest, a minute of her motherly monologue ought to suffice...

You find killing in some very fine homes for one reason or another. And as we all know, President Kennedy was a dying man. So I say that it is possible that...
...Tomorrow is Mother's Day and I will go to Lee Harvey Oswald's grave, but I will be a mother alone, a mother in history alone on Mother's Day . . .

And really nobody has worried about my welfare...
John J. King, a Denver oilman and gun fancier, paid Oswald's widow Marina $10,000 for the rifle a year ago, promised an additional $35,000 on delivery, then sued to recover the weapon from federal authorities. In a Dallas courtroom, less than a mile from the stretch of road where the President was killed, U.S. Judge Joe E. Estes last week awarded the Federal Government permanent custody of the assassination rifle and the .38-cal. Smith & Wesson revolver with which Oswald killed Policeman J. D. Tippit. Both weapons, said the U.S. Justice Department, will thus be preserved...
