...trip, gave him a hero's welcome: John Kennedy dispatched a brace of helicopters to Andrews Air Force Base for L.B.J. and his Lady Bird, ordered out the Cabinet and the diplomatic corps for a greeting ceremony in the White House Rose Garden. That done, Johnson withdrew with the President and Secretary of State Dean Rusk to Kennedy's study for a 45-minute briefing on what he had learned...
...untrained politicians clearly got on his delicate nerves. The Congolese army, he declared publicly, was "rabble," and the local press angrily quoted him as calling Army Boss Mobutu a "bandit."

After all attempts to revive him had failed, Pathologists Jack Kevorkian and Glenn W. Bylsma did an autopsy and withdrew two pints from a jugular vein. This was 2½ to 3 hours after death. To make sure that no germs had got into the blood (which would make it unsafe for transfusion), samples were incubated for two weeks. The woman patient had no unfavorable reactions to the transfusions of cadaver blood, is now well...
