Clay Shaw, 55, a white-haired, deep-voiced bachelor who has lived under accusation and innuendo for the past two years, calmly denied any part in a conspiracy or acquaintanceship with either "co-conspirator." Did he have any ill feelings toward Kennedy? "Certainly not," replied Shaw, adding that he had admired and voted for the President...

...similar suicidal attack penetrated the defense perimeter of the 25th U.S. Division headquarters at Cu Chi, northwest of Saigon. In that charge about 50 sappers managed to sneak through ten defensive rings of wire, then sprinted down a flight line and destroyed nine helicopters with satchel charges. Only a few of the attackers carried rifles; the survivors later explained that they had left their valuable weapons behind before going into the assault-in the knowledge that they would not survive the mission...
