JESSE CURRY, 51, chief of the Dallas Police Department, drew volcanic criticism for allowing reporters and cameramen at police headquarters to all but dictate his handling of Oswald and for setting up security standards so lax that it was easy for Ruby to shoot Oswald while the U.S. watched on television.

His two daughters, Bridget, 7, and Kate, 6, are not allowed to watch "shoot 'em up" shows or waste a minute on Soupy Sales, a slap-sticking echo of vaudeville who appears on TV's children's hour.

Such a shock, in fact, that he snatched the key, threatening to shoot Flood if he took possession. With the aid of a locksmith, Flood moved in anyway, with his wife Beverly, 25, and their four children, to be greeted with cheers by practically every family on the block, and a home-cooked meal that moved Beverly to tears. "Bless you all," beamed Flood...
