Ex-Spy Says She Drove to Dallas with Oswald & Kennedy 'Assassin
Ex-Spy Says She Drove To Dallas With Oswald & Kennedy 'Assassin Squad' By PAUL MESKIL A former spy says that she accompanied Lee Harvey Oswald and an "assassin squad" to Dallas a few days before President Kennedy was murdered there Nov. 22, 1963. The House Assassinations Committee is investigating her story. Marita Lorenz, former undercov- er operative for the CIA and FBI, told The News that her companions on the car trip from Miami to Dallas were Os. wald, CIA contract agent Frank Sturgis, Cuban exile leaders Orlando Bosch and Pedro Diaz Lanz, and two Cuban broth- ers whose names she does not know. She said they were all members of Operation 40, a secret guerrilla group originally formed by the CIA in 1960 in preparation for the Bay of Pigs inva- sion. Statements she made to The News and to a federal agent were reported to Robert Blakey, chief counsel of the Assassinations Committee. He has as- signed one of his top investigators to interview her. Ms. Lorenz described Operation 40 as an ''assassination squad" consisting of about 30 anti-Castro Cubans and their American advisers. She claimed the group conspired to kill Cuban Premier Fidel Castro and President Kennedy, whom it blamed for the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Admitted Taking Part Sturgis admitted in an interview two years ago that he took part in Opera- Maritza Lorenz tion 40.

The Division System in Crisis Essays on Contemporary Korea Paik Nak-Chung
The Division System in Crisis Essays on Contemporary Korea Paik Nak-chung Foreword by Bruce Cumings Translated by Kim Myung-hwan, Sol June-Kyu,Song Seung-cheol, and Ryu Young-joo, with the collaboration of the author Published in association with the University of California Press Paik Nak-chung is one of Korea’s most incisive contemporary public intellec- tuals. By training a literary scholar, he is perhaps best known as an eloquent cultural and political critic. This volume represents the first book-length col- lection of his writings in English. Paik’s distinctive theme is the notion of a “division system” on the Korean peninsula, the peculiar geopolitical and cultural logic by which one nation continues to be divided into two states, South and North. Identifying a single structure encompassing both Koreas and placing it within the framework of the contemporary world-system, Paik shows how this reality has insinuated itself into virtually every corner of modern Korean life. “A remarkable combination of scholar, author, critic, and activist, Paik Nak- chung carries forward in our time the ancient Korean ideal of marrying ab- stract learning to the daily, practical problems of the here and now. In this book he confronts no less than the core problem facing the Korean people since the mid-twentieth century: the era of national division, of two Koreas, an anomaly for a people united across millennia and who formed the basic sinews of their nation long before European nation-states began to develop.” BRUCE CUMINGS, from the foreword PAIK NAK-CHUNG is emeritus professor of English literature at Seoul National University.

The Kennedy Solution
THE KENNEDY SOLUTION On the 27th, April, 1961. The President of the United States of America. John Fitzgerald Kennedy (29/5/1917----22/11/1963.) Gave an address at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York City. To the American Newspaper Publishers Association. Entitled “ The President and the Press.” Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen; I appreciate very much your generous invitation to be here tonight. You bear heavy responsibilities these days and an article I read some time ago reminded me of how particularly heavily the burdens of present day events bear upon your profession. You may remember that in 1851 The New York Herald Tribune under the sponsorship and publishing of Horace Greeley employed as its London correspondent an obscure journalist by the name of Karl Marx. We are told that foreign correspondent Marx, stone broke, and with family ill and undernourished, constantly appealed to Greeley and managing editor Charles Dana for an increase in his munificent salary of $5 per installment, a salary which he and Engles ungratefully labeled as the “lousiest petty bourgeois cheating.” But when all his financial appeals were refused, Marx looked around for other means of livelihood and fame, eventually terminating his relationship with the Tribune and devoting his talents full time to the cause that would bequeath the world the seeds of Leninism, Stalinism, revolution and the cold war… I have selected as the title of my remarks tonight “The President and the Press.” Some may suggest that this would be more naturally worded “The President Verses the Press.” But those are not my sentiments tonight… I want to talk about our common responsibilities in the face of common danger.

E. Howard Hunt and the JFK Plotters by Eric Hamburg
E. Howard Hunt and the JFK Plotters By Eric Hamburg How much of Howard Hunt’s scenario holds up under examination. Surprisingly, much of it does. The people that he names as part of the plot are, for the most part, people whose names have cropped up over and over again in the assassination literature. There is substantial evidence to implicate them in a plot to kill JFK. For this reason, Hunt’s revelations are more credible than they might otherwise be. A review of the literature indicates why this is so. Let’s start with William Harvey. He was named by Hunt as the mastermind of the plot, as well as being called an “alcoholic psycho” by Hunt.. There is ample evidence for both of these propositions. 1 Consider the following statements regarding William Harvey, made by author Anthony Summers in his seminal work “Conspiracy”. Summers writes, “In the closing stages of the (House) Assassinations Committee mandate, some staff members felt that, while Mafia marksmen may have carried out the assassination, it could only have been orchestrated by someone in America intelligence, someone with special knowledge of Oswald’s background. As they pondered this, investigators gave renewed attention to the senior CIA officer who co-coordinated the CIA-Mafia plots against Castro – William Harvey. Summers goes on to state: “William Harvey died in 1976 … As far back as 1959, he was one of only three officers privy to plans to send false defectors to the Soviet Union. 1959 was the year of Oswald’s suspect defection. Genuine defection or not, Harvey almost certainly knew about it in detail.
