...bullets fired that day. The academy urged that the case be reopened. In fact, District Attorney Joseph P. Busch had been considering ways to reopen the investigation, but Busch died on June 27. His successor, Acting District Attorney John Howard, had prosecuted Sirhan and had no doubt that he had acted alone. Nonetheless, the supervisors ignored Howard's opposition and urged that the evidence be restudied. Explained Chairman James Hayes: "This whole subject has been kicked around for several years now. If it could be openly reassessed in some proper form, it would be in the best interest...
...These doubts center on the economy. Over and over, the worries surfaced about jobs, inflation, pensions and investment; about being able to meet the fall tuition bills and finding homes that can be afforded. Neither Gallup nor Harris found that the President's recent European journey helped him a bit in their measurements, and that cast doubt on whether the expected agreement in the Middle East would dispel the political and economic shadows.

The current scandal seems as unlikely to unhorse Chairman Daniel Haughton, who has headed Lockheed since 1967, as any of the company's former crises. His defenders on the board of directors believe Haughton is not personally responsible...
...corrupt aristocrat moves painfully by day. At night, of course, he is able to change from man to bat to wolf to fog. The human characters who have been hunting Dracula in the light now lie abed, weak with doubt, receptive to phantoms. A winged shape flutters at the casement-ludicrous as a plot device, but classically suggestive as an embodiment of dread...
