The article partially reads, "The woman in the white uniform stood outside the locked door of the gray Spanish-type home at 625 Palisades Beach Road in Santa Monica. She flicked the 'talk' switch on the intercom system that let persons outside the house talk to those within. Inside, Mrs. Peter Lawford, attended by Dr. Charles Sturdevant, chief of psychiatry, St. John's Hospital, Santa Monica, had just learned the news her brother, John F. Kennedy, had been shot in Dallas, Tex."; See images #00117835 through #00117836 for all photos in this series.
