Military planned Castro's demise in 1963 scheme
Declassified records reveal that in 1962 the Joint Chiefs and Deputy Defense Secretary Gilpatric approved a plan to lure Castro into an overt attack on the United States, creating justification for U.S. retaliation. A later memo proposed a contrived Cuban attack on an OAS member to gain collective action, but planners grew wary of leaks. The documents remain unclear on final approval or execution.

FCC acts to require price disclosure on public pay phones

Citing cases like a 40 minute $63 and a 2 minute $9.53 charge, regulators aim to curb surprise bills from long distance calls. The rules apply to pay phones hotel phones and other public devices but do not fix actual rates.
