Officials doubt Oswald body and seek tests
Dallas County Medical Examiner Charles Petty says enough doubt now exists about the identity of the body buried in Lee Harvey Oswalds grave to warrant exhumation and verification tests. Adjacent county officials resist unless a court orders tests, while an attorney for author Michael Eddowes cites inconsistencies in autopsy and military records. Petty proposes X rays and dental records to confirm whether the Fort Worth grave holds Oswald.

Mexican oil spill hopes rise as cone seals well
Engineers say a 310 ton steel cone placed over Ixtec 1 offshore well in Campeche Sound aims to curb the spill within days. The Gulf of Mexico disaster, begun June 3, has dumped an estimated 115 million gallons of crude, with 63 crew evacuated unharmed. The flow is reduced by funneling through a 10 inch pipe to platforms for separation and recovery.
