Written largely to dispel doubt, the Report and the accompanying 26 volumes of raw evidence now served to engender uncertainty and skepticism. Epstein demonstrated that the Commission had worked hastily, arbitrarily dismissed testimony that contradicted its overriding conclusion, and given only reluctant and far from unanimous approval to a dubious theory that later proved fundamental in the case against Oswald as the lone assassin...
...Hostess Mrs. Bartley C. Crum, who sends out Menus by Mail to 6,000 subscribers in 45 states (among them: Jacqueline Kennedy, Ilka Chase and Pauline Trigere), currently recommends beef Wellington along with Indonesian pork sate, but varies her suggestions with more unusual dishes, such as Peruvian seviche (cold raw bay scallops marinated in the juice of limes, lemons and oranges) and Arabian chicken, roasted with cloves, honey and bacon...
Only a sociologist, perhaps, is equipped to digest the mountains of raw data that Lewis' technique produces, to assay the yards of tape, the stenographic interviews, the conscientious catalogues of someone's wardrobe, someone else's orange-crate kitchen shelf.

Another invention was the impressionist profile of contemporary figures, of which the most famous had the echoing refrain: "Wars, machine-gun fire and arson-good growing weather for the House of Morgan." These sketches-of Henry Ford and Big Bill Haywood the Wobbly leader, of Rudolph Valentino and Isadora Duncan-were brilliant in themselves...
