RFK assassination bullets may come from different guns
Robert Joling urged Congress to review the RFK killing noting Kennedy and ABC Newsman William Weisel were struck by bullets with different markings. He cited a Kennedy bullet with one cannelure and a Weisel bullet with two, suggesting Sirhan’s gun may not account for all bullets. He proposed a broader congressional review of RFK and MLK cases.

Heroin use rising again despite past declines
John Bartels Jr of the Drug Enforcement Administration told a House subcommittee that the United States is about to lose ground in the fight against heroin. He traced the epidemic to 1965 among urban minorities, its 1972 dip, and a new rise due to stable prices and higher purity. He cited supply threats and ER visits.
