...TIPPIT, 36, wife of the Dallas policeman Oswald killed, received sympathy contributions totaling $643,863.08. She has spent almost none of the money, still lives in the same modest house in a Dallas suburb (a Philadelphia banker has paid off the mortgage), has the same 1961 station wagon (which still has generator trouble). Half of her fortune is in trust for her two sons, 14 and 5, and her daughter, 11. In the dining room of her home there is a photograph of the Kennedy family, with an inscription from Jackie Kennedy saying: "There is another bond we share...

...convenient victim on pen point? In Osborn's case, the assassination of John F. Kennedy left him nearly unable to draw. After a while, the cartoonist wrote his dealer, Edith Halpert, "I began to lay down my resentment of the disordered, disoriented, dislocated, DISJOINTED being-not so much Oswald as against the fragmented, illogical destroyers of man's best hopes...
