JFK slumping forward. Jackie scrambling back. Twenty-six seconds of blurred film footage still replaying in the minds of Americans 35 years after it was shot. A priceless piece of history. But one that now comes with an $18.5 million price tag

Article Abstract:

There is still conflict over the 26 seconds of film shot by dressmaker Abraham Zapruder of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, TX, in 1963. This footage has been of particular significance to the work of the Assassination Records Review Board, which was created by Congress in 1992 and was wound up at the end of Sep 1998. This board declared that Zapruder's film was the property of the American people. The controversy about the film goes beyond ownership rights, as it has become a frame of reference for modern American culture.

Good enough to eat

Article Abstract:

The US market for 'interactive candy,' or Xtreme Candy, has doubled every year since 1993. These sweets are designed to appeal to children through their goulishness and weirdness. Some are based on frogs or spiders, while others feature skulls or eye sockets. This category is expanding more rapidly than any other sector of the sweet market. Cap Candy, the largest manufacturer, has now opened a facility in London, England, and these sweets are rapidly establishing a presence in the UK.
