The President, too, may have had a delayed reaction, and since scant fractions of a second are involved, there is a possibility that there was time for Oswald to shoot twice.

...with Bureau Chief Ruth Mehrtens, topped off the close coverage of the campaign by tucking napkin under chin and sharing Edward Brooke's night-be-fore-election "soul food" dinner of pigs' feet and Moet et Chandon champagne. Los Angeles Bureau Chief Marshall Berges, who lives a scant two miles from Ronald Reagan and had followed the candidate's progress for 18 months, did not remember any champagne.

New York City Council President O'Connor, who is conspicuously short of personal dynamism, effective organization...
...stock peaked at $34 a share; at year's end it had $117 million in deposits, ranked 340th among the nation's 14,000 commercial banks. But despite such apparent success, there were signs of shakiness. Its president resigned last December; his successor left a scant two months later. When President James A. McGuire arrived in March, the bank was already in deep trouble...
