Photographer? I thought it was supposed to be Cesar.
I never have found out how an 8-shot pistol with someone's thumb behind its trigger delivered 11 slugs.
New book, out, BTW: ISBN 0060580534 It has Robert Vaughn's endorsement (whoopee) =p Kwantus 17:40, 2005 Jan 18 (UTC)

There are some disturbing coins under the picture of Kennedy... perhaps they should be removed, but I 'stole' it from Robert F. Kennedy. Pascal 22:18, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)

The coins pictured in the article are of the special dollar coin that the US Government produced in honor of RFK in the late 90's. I'll remove them, since they have nothing to do with the RFK assassination itself. Unlike the Kennedy Half, the RFK silver dollar wasn't produced in honor of RFK after his death, they were done as a fund raiser for a charity named after RFK AFAIK.
Hope this helps!
PS: The Government stopped minting special silver dollars in the 50's until 1982.
