When asked if her husband killed the President, she said softly: "Yes, I do believe he did. I believe the man was capable of it." She also agreed with a suggestion from North Carolina Democrat Richardson Preyer that Oswald's motive was probably not political but a product of his own twisted ego. He would probably, she said, have gone after whoever was President at the time...
...Chairman Miller spelled out some of the reasons for concern: "The Japanese spend 20% of their gross national product in fixed investment, and Germany spends 15%, and we are spending 8% or 9%."

Today, health care expenditures comprise 8.8 per cent...
...know a little about MOVE's ideology. First and foremost, the group opposes technology. Its members reportedly eat only raw meat, rarely take baths, raise rats and dozens of dogs. MOVE members refuse to use modern plumbing. They hate cars, airplanes, consumer markets and anything else that is a product of modern society. Second, MOVE is not proto-typically radical. They hate capitalism, but they also hate socialist governments that also believe in the worth of science and industry. They only incidentally harp about class conflict and proletarian oppression. Third, the group is revolutionary. Although they despise cities, they feel...
