...hall at the rear of the chamber stood a large man in his late 40s. He had curly grey hair, swarthy skin and silver-capped front teeth. His name was Dimitrio Tsafendas, and he wore the uniform of a parliamentary messenger, a job for which he had been hired only a month before. Tsafendas was obviously distraught. At lunch with his fellow messengers, he had hardly touched his curry, left early without explanation. Now, as the warning bell summoned the Members of Parliament to their seats for the opening of the session, he refused to run a routine errand requested...
...controversy over the autopsy centers on the report issued by a three-man team of surgeons after an autopsy performed on Kennedy's body at Bethesda Naval Hospital. The doctors found an opening in the right rear of the President's skull, which they diagnosed as an entrance wound. The exit point was a gaping hole where the side of the skull had been blown out. That accounted for one shot, which the surgeons decided had come from above and behind...
...Nader's chief target had been G.M.'s Corvair, whose 1960-63 models' rear wheels had a tendency to "tuck under," supposedly causing rolls and skids. Last week in Los Angeles, G.M. for the first time lost a damage suit involving Corvair design; a jury awarded $66,000 in damages to two passengers in a Corvair that in 1960 skidded into a roadside culvert and overturned. Corvair's record in suits of this type is now 1 lost, 3 won, 17 dismissed or settled out of court, and 133 pending...
...gangling figure in baggy fatigues, Page has a frightening knack for being close-sometimes too close-to the action. Near Chu Lai last August, he took memorable LIFE color pictures of the Marine operation, as well as a painful piece of Viet Cong shrapnel in his rear. In the thick of the recent Buddhist revolt in Danang, Page was again working for LIFE when a rebel grenade exploded near his face and cost him two pints of blood before medics could patch up his eight wounds...
...antistatus. Such a symbol comes dear, as it did to promising young Singer Richard Fariña, who died in a cycle accident in April. Folk Hero Bob Dylan, 25, was luckier-but not by much. He was buzzing along on his Triumph 500 near Woodstock, N.Y., when the rear wheel froze, flipping him off and onto the pavement. Dylan was rushed to a doctor and will spend at least two months in bed, recuperating from a neck fracture, a concussion (he wasn't wearing a helmet), and severe face and back cuts...
