...Colt automatic. It was loaded with four bullets, but there was no bullet in the chamber ready to be fired (see diagram). To shoot the gun, Fromme would first have had to pull back the slide on top of the pistol, thus forcing a bullet from the clip up into the chamber. After the first shot was fired, the next bullet would have been automatically fed into the chamber...
...Healthy Clip. More price rises are being posted too. U.S. Steel announced a series of price changes, effective between now and Oct. 1, that work out to an increase averaging 3.8% on many products (earlier, several companies had tried to raise flat-rolled steel, the kind that goes into autos and appliances, about 9%). American Motors became the first automaker to make public tentative price rises on 1976 models; A.M.C.'s will average 5.8%, or $200 a car. The moves, taken together with aluminum increases going into effect this month, seem to indicate that major corporations are boosting prices...
...threat for 1976 than this year. Economists both in and out of the Administration, including some of its Democratic critics, lately have been voicing a new optimism that the recovery, far from getting off to the sputtering start widely feared a few months ago, is advancing at a healthy clip that should send production up at about a 7% to 8% rate in both the third and fourth quarters. The biggest reason is a predicted tapering off of business inventory cutting. In addition, the statistics-except for those concerning inflation-have been good: unemployment fell from a peak...
...tiny, one-room cabin. A loaded shot-gun and squat, scoped hunting rifle hung over the door, a long-necked banjo and the Thompson over the bed. Peg turned on his tape deck, gave Peanut a piece of licorice, and pulled out the Thompson's clip: 90 rounds a minute of bloated, stumpy bullets. Peanut cried and Pegleg picked his banjo and Daniel got down on the floor where the child was and then wasn't when her mother picked her up, and said how she had the life and wasn't it the best while Pegleg invited Bridget back...
...become as good a picker as Doc Watson: it gets awesome to think of where he'll he when he's more than a handful of years past his teenage. Gary, the bass player and singer, has a gritty, semi-Dylan voice that fits perfectly and unassumingly with fast-clip rock/bluegrass, but which in blues-ballads grinds to much--it sounds too hostile and allenated for mountainish music. Indeed, the whole band suffers when they bring out the electric blues. But this is seldom, and their original songs, as well as the old staples from the father of the Banjo...
