...destroyed the trucks along with their loads. Dynamite exploded in front of two houses in Michigan, a barn was burned in Southern Ohio, a hog house and 40 pigs went up in flames in Wisconsin. All milk going into Detroit was held up while health officials checked out a report-untrue, as it turned out-that it was laced with arsenic. Some truckloads were diluted with kerosene; in Marshall County, Tenn., at least one was spoiled with garlic...
Jack Ruby did almost nothing efficiently-except to murder Lee Harvey Oswald. According to the Warren Report, he conducted his banking from his "pockets and the trunk of his car," dispensed cash generously to his pals and cared little about repayment, ran up an estimated $50,000 debt in legal fees, and at the time of his death last January in Dallas, owed the Federal Government about $44,000 in back taxes. To complicate matters even further, Ruby made out three separate wills, dividing his non-estate (mostly personal effects) among sisters, nephews and a friendly prison guard. Last week...

Ordered to report for induction into the Army on April 11, Black Muslim Clay says he may opt for jail instead...
...first annual report since moving to Ford from the White House, President McGeorge Bundy last week served notice that the foundation was cutting back its grants from the current annual rate of $362 million to around $200 million, which would still be about $40 million in excess of this year's estimated income. Those who have benefited most from Ford generosity-U.S. colleges and universities-will be hardest hit, though they still remain high on the foundation's list of priorities. One program that may end is the matching of capital grants, under which 80 colleges...
