...intricate counterpoint between his story of the stricken individuals in Dallas and what he calls "the Greek chorus" of fear and mourning that quickly gripped the world in general. A stunned Associated Press operator, attempting to transmit the bulletin that Kennedy was shot, clattered the keys with a "tragic stutter" that resulted in O'DONNELL be coming "o";>9...30)," and BLOODSTAINED became "BLOOD STAAINEZAACRBMTHING," and HE LAY became a wailing "HA LAAAAAAAAAAAAA...
...congruent culture that has both alarmed their elders and, stylistically at least, left an irresistible impression on them. No Western metropolis today lacks a discotheque or espresso joint, a Mod boutique or a Carnaby shop. No transistor is immune from rock 'n' roll, no highway spared the stutter of Hondas. There are few Main Streets in the world that do not echo to the clop of granny boots, and many are the grannies who now wear them. What started out as distinctively youthful sartorial revolt-drainpipe-trousered men, pants-suited or net-stockinged women, long hair on male...
Pure Agony. Manchester noted that at least half of the people he interviewed "experienced moments of emotional difficulty" when asked to relive the assassination. Nor was he exempt. Months after Kennedy's funeral, Manchester recalled how "I still wake up at night and hear the stutter of the drums on Penn sylvania Avenue."

Today Governor Clifford Hansen no longer stutters, and to many of his fellow Republicans his policies are no laughing matter, either. In a state where Republican Governors are traditionally ultraconservative, Hansen has been acting suspiciously like a moderate...
Seven Out of Nine. When he tucks that $23 official N.F.L. pigskin into the crook of his arm and stutter-steps into the line, big (6 ft. 2 in., 228 Ibs.) Jim Brown is without argument the greatest runner in professional football. In 1957, the first year he joined Cleveland as an All-America from Syracuse University and the Browns' No. 1 draft choice, he gained an incredible 942 yds. on the ground. He has not done that poorly since. Only eleven men in the N.F.L.'s 45-year history have gained 1,000 yds. or more...
