<VV> [FC] Corvair Research

[Dennis PLEAU]

He needs to get a book called "Assassination of the Corvair" by Andrew J. White.  Published by Readers Press.  Library of Congress Catalog No. 77-95002.
 
Of course it the teacher is no open to the suggestion it wasn't a disaster, go with Ralphs book and get the good grade.
