Cross Well After Kidnaping at Expo 67 Site
Montreal AP reports British envoy James Richard Cross was freed after 60 days in a windowless room guarded by Quebec separatists. Doctors said he is in excellent condition aside from 22 pounds lost. Cuban intermediaries received him as Canadian captors were granted political asylum in Cuba. Cross spoke of the ordeal, noting he watched over 160 films on TV and comparing the experience to hell or purgatory.
