...also had the Remington .30-'06 pump-action rifle that someone had obligingly dropped outside the South Main Street rooming house. The FBI traced it to Birmingham-where it had been sold the day before the slaying-but whether it was really the murder weapon was uncertain. Clark initially hinted that a ballistic test had yielded positive results. Subsequent reports that the unjacketed slug had been too badly mashed for a definite comparison to be made went undenied. Whether the palm and thumbprints, thought to be the assassin's, were of any help was also kept secret. Other...
...really surprising that the churches should be sounding uncertain trumpets, or that Christians should be insecure as to the meaning and direction of their spiritual commitment. Undeniably, one of the most telling events of modern history has been a revolution in the relationship of religion to Western civilization. The churchgoer could once take comfort in the fact that he belonged to what was essentially a Christian society, in which the existence of an omnipotent God was the focus of ultimate meaning.

Although the AFI's cordial connection with the Library of Congress gives them an invaluable aid in negotiating for copies of rare films, they cannot legally guarantee an amnesty to collectors who admit ownership of black-market prints. Consequently, no uncertain skill is needed in making different deals for each film; the need to create an image which convinces collectors that their prints won't be impounded pulls Kahlenberg toward cloak-and-dagger tactics of secrecy. "I know where three negatives of Scarface are," he will say with a mysterious smile...
