...Black Gown. Was Garrison onto something? It was all but impossible to tell. His sleuths, like small boys overturning a rock in a muddy field, have uncovered all manner of seamy, unsavory creatures with curious links to Oswald. Under investigation are, among others, pro-Castro leftists, anti-Castro Cubans and a motley assortment of beatniks, homosexuals and psychopaths of various stripes. Their haunts ranged from "gay" coffee shops and bars in New Orleans' French Quarter to shadowy back streets in the Cuban sections of Dallas and Miami...

One sore loser got so mad at his turtle that he forthwith had him cooked for dinner...
...months since Castro announced that any Cubans who wanted to could leave his little paradise lost, some 47,000 have flown to freedom on the twice-daily Havana-to-Miami shuttle. But when it came to some 900 persons holding dual Cuban-American citizenship, Castro kept stalling.
