Within 19 minutes of her call, John Kennedy, half a dozen hastily gathered newsmen and several White House staffers were aboard Air Force helicopters, bound from the White House lawn to Andrews Air Force Base. No one in the party, including the President, had so much as a toothbrush along...

Within another hour they had implanted it in the accountant's right flank, and a total of 125 minutes after the donor's death they switched on the transplanted kidney's new circulation...

The State had attempted to prove that Ware was still crazy drunk when he allegedly assaulted the Sheriff, but the doctor first said that Ware's condition might have been caused by the truama of being shot at least three times.
