...experts were charged by Judge Wenke to determine if the bullets recovered from Kennedy's neck and from the wounded bystanders, Ira Goldstein and William Weisel, were fired from the same gun. The "two gun" advocates had relied heavily upon the 1970 findings of Pasadena Criminologist William W. Harper; using a Balliscan, a specialized camera used to photograph a cylindrical object rotated in front of it, he decided that the recovered Kennedy bullet had only one cannelure-a groove imprinted by the manufacturer - while the others had two concentric grooves. If so, that would at least raise the possibility...
...PASADENA, CALIF. This city peacefully integrated its public schools in 1970 by busing 43% of its 26,000 students. Since then, says School District Administrator Peter Hagen, white students' achievement in the nearly integrated schools has actually improved, but "we have not been able to bring the black and brown students' scores up to the performances of whites and Orientals." White parents transferred about 7,500 pupils to private and parochial schools; only about 120 subsequently returned to public schools, leaving them 58% nonwhite, up from...

...will follow an arcing, 460-million-mile path for more than ten months before it goes into orbit around Mars in mid-June 1976.* The spacecraft will circle the Red Planet for two weeks or more, reconnoitering landing sites and radioing information back to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif...
...tiny craft had been in space for 16 months and was nearly out of steering fuel. Yet flight controllers at Pasadena's Jet Propulsion Laboratory last week managed to keep Mariner 10 alive and performing well through its third -and closest-encounter with the solar system's innermost planet. As it passed only 200 miles above Mercury's scorched surface, the half-ton robot swooped over the planet's north polar region, sent back some 300 closeup pictures and confirmed a puzzling fact-that Mercury has an innate magnetic field
