...revolver and shot Michael Lawrence Geller three times in the chest. Bush then allegedly threatened Melvin Dlugash, who Bush feared would be a witness unless he, too, were involved in the crime. So Dlugash fired five shots into Geller's head from his own .25-cal. pistol. Bush drew five to ten years after pleading guilty to manslaughter, but Dlugash went to trial and got up to life. Last week an appeals court decided that Dlugash should go free because the prosecution had not proved "beyond a reasonable doubt" that Geller was still alive when Dlugash fired...
...sale was the second coup pulled off by Riccardo and his deputy, President Eugene Cafiero. Last fall they threatened to close Chrysler's beleaguered British subsidiary and add to Britain's grim unemployment picture. Prime Minister Harold Wilson angrily complained that his government had "a pistol at its head."

They would seem to have little in common, yet by the time Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau ended a three-day visit to Fidel Castro's Cuba last week, an obvious rapport had developed between the two leaders. As TIME's Ottawa bureau chief William Mader, who accompanied Trudeau, reported, the airport farewell ceremonies turned into a kind...
Ruckus research even extends be yond the tomb. Under the graveyard of Trinity Church is a vault, in which plywood skeletons lie promiscuously jumbled. One, wearing an 18th century peruke and still clutching a dueling pistol, is Colonel Alexander Hamilton. Another is Robert Fulton, interred with his paddle-wheel boat. If you would know New York, visit its Ruckus offspring. One can only hope that some company or museum has the wit to keep it on public display downtown forever...
