...still on the drawing boards, while the U.S.'s Pratt & Whitney already has a suitable engine in the test stage. So France's largest manufacturer of aircraft engines, SNECMA, announced that it would exercise its option to build the Pratt & Whitney engine. Seemingly, that was merely a hint that Rolls-Royce had better get cracking on its own model, but behind it lay the unmistakable fact that French and German aircraft companies are itching to switch to the U.S. engine...
During four days of Castro-Kosygin talks, Cubans read or heard almost nothing of what went on. The only hint came at midweek, when Tass reported that the discussions were "frank"-a favorite Soviet euphemism for disagreement. Toward the end of the meetings, however, the two men apparently worked out some of their major differences. The day Kosygin left Havana, airport roads were lined with Russian and Cuban flags, an honor guard boomed out a 21-gun salute, and Castro gave his visitor a parting abrazo...

Occasionally, they have gone so far as to threaten to back up their claims with force. Moreover, Spain has been under mounting pressure...
...unmistakeable silhouette in yet another picture for the #2 man. The silhouette is from a picture taken by Philip Willis--a retired Air Force major from Dallas--and is perhaps the hardest to refute of the lot. It shows no rifle, or even a hint of one, but it does suggest a man standing in almost the same position as Moorman #2, around the time of the first shot by Willis' own recollection. The Warren Commission has found no evidence to show anyone standing behind the wall (which guards a private parking lot) and insists the area was off-limits...
