Doubts Deepen After Kennedy and King Assassination Inquiry
The House Select Committee spent 5.4 million dollars and 5,000 interviews to study the Kennedy and King murders but produced a report critics call speculative and lacking proof.

Persimmon Wood for Golf Clubs Becomes Precious
A North American persimmon tree revered for dense, slow growth yields premium golf club wood after 40 to 50 years. Randy Rau of Rauco crafts clubs from blemish-free stock harvested Octobers to March, kiln dried to deter borers. World War II depletion and modern veneer demand sustain a rare high quality stand, with international buyers especially Japanese. John Gregory claims a persimmon juice alum mix may shrink the head for baldness.
