His body has not yet been found. and no word has yet appeared in the press. If this report is true. it adds still another shock wave to the already terrifying article which begins on page 40.

Atomic Studebakers would whisk commuters to cities where the electricity was too cheap to meter. Flying cars, moving side walks, elevators to space, all powered by nuclear energy were the promise. While we are still waiting for our atomic powered flying cars, Gibson Island did manage to get the only Atomic Lighthouse in North America. “It’s easy to grin, when your ship comes in, and you’ve got the stock market beat…” Members of the Gibson Island Yacht Squadron have no doubt appreciated the sight of the Lighthouse (officially the Baltimore Harbor Light) after a long sail from Newport or Bermuda, since the Gibson Island Yacht Club was created in the 1920s.

  • Oswald and US Intelligence
    This document is online at: http://ratical.org/ratville/JFK/HWNAU/ Oswald and U.S. Intelligence by Christopher Sharrett 1. Oswald had relatives who had worked for the CIA. 2. Oswald had top secret security clearances while in the Marines, and was at one point stationed at Marine Air Control in the Atsugi Base in Japan. This was a top secret base, from which the CIA launched U-2 flights and performed other covert activities. For example, Oswald’s unit was involved in a “top-secret” project, “Operation Strongback,” a preparation for a coup against the government of Indonesia. 3. Oswald was later assigned to El Toro Air Station in California with security clearance to work on radar. 4. Oswald was assigned to study Russian at the special U.S. School of Languages at Monterey, a school which is used to train people selected to do work for the U.S. government. 5. While at El Toro, Oswald began expressing very openly pro-Russian and pro-communist views. Such expression did not trigger any concern on the part of his Marine superiors, and in no way affected his security clearances. 6. Oswald obtained a hardship discharge from the Marines within a week of applying for it. The reason given for the application turned out to be false. 7. Oswald had no visible means of income for his trip to Russia, part of which could not have occurred by commercial transport because of its timing, but could have been accomplished by U.S. military transport. 8. On defecting to the Soviet Union, Oswald claimed that he intended to give away classified radar information to the Soviets.

He paused to talk with the press. Washington Post reporter George Lardner, Jr. described the encounter in his paper's August 10 edition: Helms told reporters during a break that no one would ever know who or what Lee Harvey Oswald, named by the Warren Commission as Kennedy's assassin, represented. Asked whether the CIA knew of any ties Oswald had with either the KGB or the CIA, Helms paused and with a laugh said, "I don't remember."

Twenty-five years later, a new book argues Oswald was actually out to get John Connally Vol. 132 No. 22 TIME THE WEEKLY NEWSMAGAZINE COVER: Was John Connally the real target in the Kennedy assassination? Excerpts from a forthcoming book suggest that Lee Harvey Oswald, angry at the downgrading of his Marine discharge, was out to get the Governor of Texas, not J.F.K.. Twenty-five years after the assassination, the trendy conspiracy theory is that the Mafia used Oswald to stop the Kennedy brothers' war on crime.. Hugh Sidey recalls the shattering day that started with cheers and ended in mourning.

Louisiana's Bennett Johnston, a leading contender for Senate majority leader, says Bush's economic plan is "absolute nonsense."
