...back of his neck. They ought to still the argument raised by a rough autopsy sketch in the Warren Commission report; prepared by Commander James J. Humes, it placed Kennedy's back wound too low to be consistent with the exit wound in his throat (partially obscured by a tracheotomy incision). The hole in Kennedy's suit jacket also had seemed too low. Since Kennedy was seen in the Zapruder film to be waving before he was first struck in the back of the neck, the experts believe that his raised right arm bunched...
...film, Kennedy is seen to be waving to a sparse crowd when, unfortunately for later investigators, a large Stemmons Freeway sign blocks the view from Zapruder's camera (at frame 205). When the President emerges 1.09 seconds later (at frame 225), he is reaching for his throat and clearly has been hit. His head, all too graphically, is struck another 4.8 seconds later (at frame 313). Thus the two wounds had to be inflicted no more than six seconds apart and in no less than five seconds. It is also clear that Connally was hit neither before nor after...

He tells us what the killer instinct means--once you have an opponent by the throat you don't let him up, but keep him down. It's reminiscent of Bobby Fisher's comment that the enjoyment he derived from chess was not only winning, but crushing his opponent's ego as well...
...OCCASION last year, an American friend travelling with me inadvertently wandered into a side street in a Basque village just south of San Sebastian in Northern Spain. He found himself thrown against the side of a building with a machine-gun pointed at his throat by a member of the civil guard. Prior to this visit, Fascism was, for me, a storybook concept, a photograph of Hitler...
...potential health hazard. The U.S. Public Health Service's Center for Disease Control in Atlanta warns that raw fish may contain Anisakidae, marine worms that can cause fever and abdominal problems in humans. According to the CDC, one California man pulled one of the worms out of his throat ten days after dining on sashimi prepared from raw white sea bass. A California boy coughed up one of the parasites a few days after eating homemade ceviche, a dish of raw red snapper marinated in lemon or lime juice. Their unnerving experience could have been avoided entirely. Both freezing...
