Widow Declared Dead by UK Courts Fails to Prove Alive
Chrissie Fraser, 59, a Scots-born South African widow, is legally dead after a coroner’s inquest misidentified a body as hers in a London hotel bathtub on July 18. The inquest found insufficient evidence to identify the body, leaving Fraser dead until a court rules otherwise. Her finances remain frozen as she cannot afford a costly legal challenge to regain life. In Pennsylvania, rain in Waynesburg sparks local legend of 76 annual showers on this date, with two policemen confirming a few drops after midnight.

Two Cuban prisoner envoys refuse return to jail
In Miami two of Fidel Castro's ten prisoner envoys chose not to go back to Cuban jail on Monday. Gustavo Garcia Montes said a public statement would follow. Three Tractor for Freedom Committee members will escort the prisoners to Havana when parole ends, seeking a tractor for prisoner exchange. The group aims to trade prisoners for tractors piece by piece, a plan Castro allowed earlier. The two men who refused are Reynaldo Pico and Milton Collazo, both in their twenties and now free of Cuba. Their wives remain in Cuba.
