...Patrolman J. D. Tippit, was shot to death in a Dallas tavern in February 1965. Ramparts reports that Dallas police classed it as death by "pistol shot, wrote up a cursory report and marked the case 'unsolved.' " The magazine also suggests that "Domingo was the intended victim." In fact, there is a full police report on the shooting (it was a shotgun, not a pistol). Moreover, one Radford Lee Hill, 41, confessed that he killed Eddy and served 20 months in prison for manslaughter. > On the Sunday night that Jack Ruby shot Oswald, six men met in Ruby...
...Diagnosing a case of varicose veins is easy enough: the swollen and tortuous blood vessels stand out in bold relief on the victim's legs. Deciding on treatment is something else, and the choice is most likely to depend on the doctor's nationality. In U.S. hospitals, the preferred approach is to "extinguish" the offending veins by stripping them out in tedious operations that take up to twelve hours and leave the footsore surgeon himself a candidate for varicose veins.

Without history or features or known nationality, Dennis' Everyman is technically some sort of soldier, but as he explains early, "I am a victim, not a soldier." A very ignominious victim he is, unable even to get himself captured with the rest of his surrendering battalion. He was left behind because, in terror, he had hidden in a closet. An enemy soldier consents to take him prisoner, but then steals his spectacles, thus further cutting him off from the world, and forgets him. Here cowardice becomes the better part of valor. The hero takes refuge in an abandoned greenhouse...
