...permission for 21 such ceremonies; among the privileged few were West German Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroder and Juanita Castro, anti-Castro sister of the Cuban dictator. Last week Miss Castro said that her brother was in part responsible for Kennedy's assassination because he "must have influenced" Lee Oswald by constantly calling the President "the illiterate millionaire" and a "murderer...
...MARINA OSWALD, 23, the assassin's Russian-born wife, was a pitiable creature, beaten and burdened by a psychotic husband who was a flat-out failure in every way. After Oswald was killed, sympathetic people sent Marina some $60,000. She moved into a $15,000, three-bedroom, air-conditioned brick house in a Dallas suburb. She had her teeth fixed, now affects fashionable coiffures and Neiman-Marcus clothes. She bought her own membership in Dallas' Music Box, a private club, and she turns up frequently with dates. Marina tosses down shots of vodka, chases them with...
JACK RUBY, 53, the strip-joint owner who killed Oswald in the Dallas police station, often kneels in beady-eyed terror on the floor of his jail cell, and babbles that he can hear the screams of U.S. Jews who are being killed or castrated in the streets because of his crime.

Ruby has tried three times to kill himself-by battering his head against a wall, ripping up his trousers...
MARGUERITE OSWALD, 57, the assassin's mother, lives in Fort Worth and wallows in woe and self-pity. She still insists shrilly that her son did not murder Kennedy alone, says: "I think Lee was a patsy. I think President Kennedy was a victim of people in the State Department." She complains that she has been taken by money-grabbing writers who gleaned information from her, then "didn't even send me $10." She asks, "Why shouldn't there be as much sympathy for me as the President's family? After all, my son was murdered...
...TIPPIT, 36, wife of the Dallas policeman Oswald killed, received sympathy contributions totaling $643,863.08. She has spent almost none of the money, still lives in the same modest house in a Dallas suburb (a Philadelphia banker has paid off the mortgage), has the same 1961 station wagon (which still has generator trouble). Half of her fortune is in trust for her two sons, 14 and 5, and her daughter, 11. In the dining room of her home there is a photograph of the Kennedy family, with an inscription from Jackie Kennedy saying: "There is another bond we share...
