Leaky Pipeline. Indeed, Hearst's serial paid less tribute to the enterprise of journalism than to the astonishing porosity of the supposedly secret Warren Commission's report. In the wake of publication, the commission's chief counsel, J. Lee Rankin, expressed his distress, not that the confidential transcript had been leaked, but that anyone might think a commission member had leaked it. "There were other people who had access to the testimony, lawyers for the defense and the prosecution during Ruby's trial," he said.

In the wake of the U.S. retaliatory blow against North Vietnamese bases, government officials and civilians alike waited with a kind of horrible fascination for some sign of things to come.

It was over the C-118 radiotelephone that the word of the fight in Tonkin Gulf was relayed to Sharp...
...Wake Up, Raúl! For 3½ hours it went on, while Brother Raúl kept dozing off on the platform, only to be nudged awake by an amused Che Guevara. In sputtering defiance of the OAS, Castro issued his own "Declaration of Santiago de Cuba," accusing the U.S. of subverting Cuba and threatening to continue his attempts to foment revolution around Latin America. "Unless there is an end to the pirate attacks from the U.S. and other countries," he cried, "the people of Cuba will feel they have an equal right to help, with all resources available...
