Three-Ply Wall. Since it is impossible to observe such a process in living man, the investigators had to reconstruct their evidence from the dead. Cardiologist Meyer Friedman and Dutch-born Physiologist G. J. Van den Bovenkamp of the Harold Brunn Institute at Mount Zion Medical Center persuaded pathologists in hospitals near San Francisco to send them the occluded segment of coronary artery from each heart-attack victim on whom they had performed an autopsy. The two researchers sliced the coronary specimens crosswise, and after examining countless paper-thin specimens under the microscope, worked out the sequence of a typical...
Bowl of Jelly. Schlesinger was nowhere near as close to Kennedy as Speechwriter Ted Sorensen, whose own memoir soared to the top of the bestseller lists. No matter. Acutely aware of his peripheral vantage point, Schlesinger has managed-by using state papers, letters and personal interviews-to reconstruct the period so skillfully that the result is not so much a personal memoir as a penetrating, balanced ledger of the Kennedy Administration...

Evans, a 39-year-old engineer who upset two-term Democrat Albert Resellini, urged the party to "reconstruct our framework in terms that will encompass a variety of opinion." Former Vice President Richard Nixon, who had reinstituted himself as the favorite target of some cartoonists by attacks on his fellow moderate Nelson Rockefeller, now called for a centrist leadership that would make enough room for both liberals...
