Such adventures might rival an old Tarzan serial, except for old Conrad's pesky profundity. Occasionally, Brooks backtracks to gather up a few platitudes about fate, courage and honor, and asks his actors to breathe life into them. The burden falls to O'Toole, whose best lines are in his clean-cut profile and whose mannerisms parody his flashy style in Lawrence of Arabia and Becket. Each time his manhood is tested, O'Toole's eyes fill with tears and a hand drifts to his throat as if to ward off a fainting spell. Everything...
...Rifle. Within minutes after the assassination, cops found hidden in the storeroom a cheap, Italian-made Mannlicher-Carcano 6.5-mm. (about .26-cal.) rifle, serial number C2766. The FBI learned that the same rifle, already mounted with a Japanese-made, four-power telescopic sight, had been mailed in March 1963 from a Chicago firm to "A. Hidell, P.O. Box 2915" in Dallas.

In the wake of publication, the commission's chief counsel, J. Lee Rankin, expressed his distress, not that the confidential transcript had been leaked, but that anyone might think a commission member had leaked it. "There were other people who had access to the testimony, lawyers for the defense and the prosecution during Ruby's trial," he said. Going somewhat above and beyond the call of duty, the commission...
Behan wrote The Scarperer in 1953, at the height of his boozy powers. Published under a pseudonym as a serial in the Irish Times, it was rediscovered only after Behan offhandedly mentioned it to his London editor nearly ten years later. Light as a feather, compassionate, unsentimental, this high comedy about low life is the most artfully constructed thing the impulsive Behan ever wrote...
