Polite Gunman Hijacks Jetliner To Cuba
A determined hijacker commandeered a Trans World Airlines Boeing 707 from Oakland to New York and forced a 2 700 mile flight to Havana. The plane carried 87 aboard including physicist Dr W Wallace Birnbaum of Berkeley. After three hours in Cuba the jet returned to the United States and landed in Miami for questions by authorities. Tricia Nixon hosted a teen Republican leadership event at the White House for 148 youths during the same day.
