...will start selling the group fares on Jan. 1, pending approval by CAB, which is almost certain, and the foreign governments involved, which is not: some may decide that the plan will steal traffic away from their own national airlines. At week's end though, BOAC, Air-India and Scandinavian Air lines System said that they were willing to match Pan Am's deal; other airlines will try to push through an industry wide plan along the same lines, at a meeting of the rate-setting International Air Transport Association in Rome next week...

...William Whaley, 51, the cab driver who picked up Oswald after he fled the book depository building, was killed in a head-on car crash in December 1965. Ramparts views his death with suspicion because Whaley had never had an accident before and was the first Dallas cab driver to die on duty since 1937. In fact, Whaley was killed because an 83-year-old man (who also died) was driving north in a southbound lane. > Eddy Benavides, 29, identified as the look-alike brother of Domingo Benavides, a witness in Oswald's slaying of Patrolman J.
