...astonishingly enough, nothing so far written about the book has stolen its sense of immediacy or muffled its sound of authenticity. Not even the remembered massive coverage-from the first unblinking TV hours to the 888-page Warren Commission report-can diminish the power of Manchester's all-encompassing narrative...
Manchester has no doubts that the Warren Commission's single-assassin finding is correct. He reports, however, that Jackie Kennedy's first reaction to her husband's death was to wish that it was caused by a widespread plot, for then "there would be an air of inevitability about the tragedy; then she could persuade herself that if the plotters had missed on Elm Street they would have eventually succeeded elsewhere...
Jack Ruby did almost nothing efficiently-except to murder Lee Harvey Oswald. According to the Warren Report, he conducted his banking from his "pockets and the trunk of his car," dispensed cash generously to his pals and cared little about repayment, ran up an estimated $50,000 debt in legal fees, and at the time of his death last January in Dallas, owed the Federal Government about $44,000 in back taxes.

After rushing to a quick and crushing 20-4 lead, aided by the dazed Flyers 18 misses in their first 20 shots, the Bruins coasted in behind the 7' 1" Alcindor's various forms of intimidation under the bucket and the flashy ball-handling and shootof guards Warren (18 points) and Lucius Allen (19). Bruin forward Lynn Shackelford dropped in 12 additional markers and fifth man Kenny Heitz turned in a sparkling defensive job on Dayton high scorer Don May, limiting him to 6 points in the first half...
