How did he pay for his flight from Memphis to Toronto, and thence to Europe? Even Ray wanted to talk about a conspiracy at his trial...
...most serious protest charged that there had been six other Soviet border transgressions on Chen Pao Island, site of the Ussuri fighting. At least two of these, China asserted, involved trucks and armored vehicles. The New China News Agency warned Moscow that "hundreds of millions of army men and civilians are on the alert. If you have the audacity to continue attacking China, you will be crushed to pieces by the iron fists of the 700 million Chinese people...
