Spassky is planning to marry Marina Stcherbatcheff, 30, a lissome brunette Frenchwoman who is a secretary in the French embassy in Moscow. Although the Soviet marriage bureau granted the pair permission to wed on Nov. 11, the Foreign Ministry began pressuring the French to force Marina, daughter of Russian émigrés to France, to leave the country by the end of September. Spassky feared that once his fiancée went, she would not be allowed to return for the wedding. Failing in his attempts to have the ceremony moved to an earlier date, Spassky complained, "I feel...

Oddly, Soviet authorities seemed to pay no attention to Marina's role in the auto accident until last January, when she began living with Spassky.

Back in 1964, of course, the FBI told the commission that Oswald and his Russian-born wife Marina were no strangers to the bureau.

He did not mention, however, that Lee Oswald later visited his office, delivering a note warning...
...still be a mecca for sophisticated singles, but anyone with children has lately found the city by the bay to be as chilly as a fog rolling in through the Golden Gate. A recent survey by the San Francisco Human Rights Commission revealed that 69% of landlords in the Marina, 60% in the Sunset and 50% in the Richmond neighborhoods refuse to rent to applicants with children. With a vacancy rate of only 2% in the city, this left little room for anyone with youngsters...
