Evangelist Roloff Defends Authority Over Runaway Boys
Two Arizona youths, 15 and 16, claimed beatings at Roloff youth homes, prompting state welfare to take temporary custody while investigating child abuse. Roloff and police dispute state authority and describe youths as runaways amid bruises and handcuff marks. Kerrville, Corpus Christi, and San Antonio sources frame the case alongside Roloff Enterprises’ religious work. An additional note mentions a turkey hunting season across 29 states.

Vance flies to Cairo to urge Sadat on peace talks
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance arrived in Cairo to press President Sadat to resume negotiations with Israel. Mohammed Kamel greeted him, and a helicopter transported them to Sadat’s Nile side retreat. Officials said the talks aimed to halt public feuds and renew private discussions between foreign ministers, with a possible follow-up mission if needed. Begin indicated readiness to reopen talks, leaving the next move to Egypt.

Oswald’s Wife Testimony Clouds by Affair with Manager
FBI files released under FOIA show Marina Oswald's alleged sexual relationship with her business manager Jim Martin may have damaged her credibility before the Warren Commission. Branigan memo notes interviewers questioned relevance of FBI questions, while Secret Service surveillance ended prior to Washington testimony. Marina denied commenting on the affair, saying the question was irrelevant. The records recount she lived with Martin and his wife in Dallas after the assassination, and he managed her affairs until their contract ended early in 1964. Vada Oswald, Marina’s sister-in-law, recalled Marina saying she consented to relationships with Martin in Washington after surveillance ended.
