...Serial Polygamy. For the dominant fact about sexual mores in the U.S. remains the fragility of American marriage. The institution has never been easily sustained; "forsaking all others," in human terms, represents a belief that in an average life, loneliness is a greater threat than boredom. But the U.S. has a special concept of marriage, both Puritan and romantic.

Frank got his friend Al Hart, president of Beverly Hills' City National Bank, to get the money together. Hart had it photographed for serial numbers.

Serial number records showed that Oswald's was the same rifle that...
...heavy arms ship ments for full-scale guerrilla warfare. On display in Caracas was an arsenal of three tons of F.A.L.N. weapons: 31 submachine guns, five 60-mm. mortars, 20 bazookas, 28 packages of plastic explosives, 81 Belgian automatic rifles with 20,000 rounds of ammunition. Most of the serial numbers and other markings were ground off. But one rifle still had a number - it turned out to be part of a lot sold to Cuba in 1959 by Belgium's Fabrique Nationale. Chemical tests on a submachine gun brought up the faint outlines of the Cuban armed forces...
