Three days after a report on skimming in Las Vegas was sent to the U.S. Attorney General's office in 1963, a complete copy was in the hands of the criminals cited in the report. The conduit for that leak has never been found...
...them when they become public. The significance of the Chappaquiddick incident for Ted Kennedy is not whether he drank too much or planned a romp on the beach with the unfortunate Mary Jo.

Piccard and his five companions spoke of massive undersea waves caused by the swirling of the Gulf Stream's powerful current around uncharted "hills" on the ocean floor. Their...
...Hello," the reporter would say sternly, "this is Lieutenant Murphy from the Detective Bureau. We have a report of a shooting at this address. Is it true?. . . Is he dead? . . . Four times in the head, huh? . . . Who shot him? . . . You did? . . . Now get hold of yourself, dear. Why did you do it? . . . Messin' with another woman, huh? . . . Did you catch 'em in bed or something? . . . Were they naked? . . . What did your boy friend do for a livin'? . . .A laborer, huh? O.K., the squad car will be right there. Goodbye...
