"The security," he said later, "was lousy." His plans were to rig himself up as a human bomb and explode in Kennedy's presence. "The Kennedy money bought him the White House," Richard Pavlick said. "I wanted to teach the United States the presidency is not for sale...

When they were cooped again in the togetherness tester, they all behaved pretty much alike toward the stimulus chicken on the other side of the wire.

Chickens are not much like humans, but Baron and Kish believe that their chicken study should...
