The article presents information on various developments. Periodical The Nation proposed a memorial to civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy and all other victims of sniper bullets, which would be at the same time a test of the temper of opinion in the Congress and a measure of whatever insight still remains that body, namely that it pass the gun-control bill that has been pending before the Senate Judiciary Committee for many months. On April 4, King was shot to death. In addition to that, the article presents various other information.
