...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." An intense, emotional man, he became so immersed in his subject that he began referring to his wife Julia as "Jacqueline." As a result of the pressure, he became ill earlier this year, required hospitalization and received treatment from the same psychiatrist who tended Novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald...
...Puffs for Pastors. Born on a Penn sylvania farm, S. S. Kresge started as a salesman of pots and pans, became fascinated by the way his friends Frank Woolworth and John McCrory were overturning the old cracker-barrel retail concepts with their low-price, high-volume retail stores.

Although he is now 36, and a mathematician for Sylvania, Paul Cooper has never lost his boyhood enthusiasm for the fanciful science-fiction stories of Jules Verne. While musing about Journey to the Center of the Earth several months ago, Cooper himself took off on a mathematical flight of fancy that more than rivals Verne's most imaginative work. By crisscrossing the earth with subterranean tunnels, the freewheeling mathematician proposes in the current issue of the American Journal of Physics, man could achieve intercontinental travel at ballistic missile speed...
