A man shot Martin Luther King in Atlanta on 4th April, 1968. He drove a white Ford car. Who was he? The police found "Harvey Lowmeyer's" gun and"John Willard's" shirt, and then the white car. It was "Eric Starvo Galt's" car. So what was this man's real name? Marks on the shirt and the car the FBI(联邦调查局) sent to Los Angeles questioned people. At last one found a photograph of "Galt's". Then detectives in Atlanta found a fingerprint. It was on a map in "Galt's" room in a small hotel. One fingerprint was enough. James Earl Ray's fingerprints were already on the FBI cards. The police watched railway stations, hotels and airports. 3, 000 detectives were trying to find Ray-without success. The Canadian police were helping too. They looked at 240,000 photographs in their Passport Office. Then they found one of "Ramon

George Sneyd". "We gave this man a passport last month," they said. "He went to London on 2nd May." The man was wearing thick glasses, but he looked like Ray. Then on 8th June, a detective at London Airport saw Sneyd's name on a passenger list. It was the end of the biggest manhunt(搜捕) in history. The FBI spent 1.4 million dollars, but they got their man.

American women experience a great variety of lifestyles. A typical American woman may be single. She may also be divorced or married. She may be a homemaker, a doctor, or a factory worker. It is very difficult to generalize about American women. However, one thing that many American women have in common is their attitudes about themselves and their roles in American life.

Historically, American women have always been very independent. The first settlers to come to New England were ten young couples that had left behind their extended family. The women were alone in a new, undeveloped country with their husbands. This had two important effects. First of all, this is the uncivilized environment that demanded every person to share in developing it and in survival. Women worked with their husbands and children to make themselves accepted in this new land. Second, because they were in a new land without the established influence of older members of society, women felt free to step into nontraditional roles.

This role of women was strengthened in later years as Americans move west, again leaving family behind and meeting a new environment. Even later, in the East, as new settlers arrived, women often found jobs more easily than men. Women became the supporters of the family.

Within the established lifestyle of the industrialized twentieth century, the strong role of women was not as attractive as in the early days of the country. Some women stepped into the men's jobs as factory and business workers. After the war, some women stayed in these positions, and others left their jobs with a new sense of ability.
