...overheard was merely speculation, and Stennis dismissed the testimony as valueless. But Dodd was enraged that Committee Counsel Benjamin Fern had knowingly permitted the statement to come out, announced dramatically that he would request the Justice Department to institute perjury proceedings against Mrs. Carpenter. Subsequently, Martin and Zeiller swore that Mrs. Carpenter's testimony was "false...
...facts of the Deadwyler case-demonstrated to all through the dumb, impartial TV eye-carried conviction. Negro witnesses contradicted one another repeatedly, offering little to back up Mrs. Barbara Deadwyler's story that Bova had stuck his revolver through the car window to shoot her husband deliberately.

Since Rule 23 (b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires that "the complaint shall be verified by oath," she swore to her belief in the truth of its contents before a notary public. Skeptical, Hilton's lawyers forced Mrs. Surowitz to take the stand in a Chicago federal district court to prove her understanding of all the details in her 60-page complaint. Naturally, she flunked the quiz. Calling it "a sham," the judge dismissed...
