Haymarket Square was the scene of a major battle between police and union workers on a rainy May 4 in 1886. Last Monday, unidentified persons exploded a bomb under a statue erected in the square to the memory of seven policemen killed in the riots...
...birthday, Groucho Marx is still demonstrating an undiminished capacity for the leering remark. "Would you pull your skirt down?" he asked a coed at a college film seminar in Los Angeles. "It's very distracting, even at my age." Then Groucho called the students' attention to a scene in his 1935 movie A Night At the Opera. As con man Otis B.

Five thousand Dallasites gave a warm welcome to President and Mrs. Kennedy when their plane touched down at 11:37 a. m. at Dallas's Love Field. The President and Governor Connally are shown waving to the crowd. The last figure is that of the President's famous wife, Jacqueline. She doesn't look like most of her pictures, though. It's easy to see they've given her too much make-up. But she is smiling...
