In Sarajevo on a sunny Sunday 50 years ago Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were killed by Gavrilo Princip with aid from Apis. Historians debate whether the assassination triggered the war or if tensions among great powers would have erupted anyway. The city’s landmarks now recall the event, with a museum and preserved sites.

Missiles Handed to Castro as Reds Pull Back
The Soviet Union is transferring antiaircraft missile operations in Cuba to Castro forces while warning against trigger happy firing at U S reconnaissance planes. About 600 to 800 Soviet personnel left last month with roughly 1 200 more to depart, leaving a training mission of 800 to 1 000 in place. The SAM network remains under Soviet central command with radar reportedly dismantled to reduce effectiveness. The OAS voted to meet July 21 to consider breaking ties with Castro, with Venezuela seeking sanctions under the Inter American Treaty. Mexico abstained.
