...Orleans District Attorney Jamees Garrison holds a press conference next to a sewer opening in Dallas. Once again outlining the 42-assassin theory, he points to the sewer and declares, "they went that-a-way, and I'm following them." H leaps in.

Thieu last week was drafting a letter to Ho, proposing to meet him face to face. In the unlikely event that Ho accepts, Thieu will ask the U.S. to stop bombing for seven days and to continue the pause even longer if Ho shows intentions of making the conversations fruitful...
