Judge OKs cattle prod use by teacher on pupils
In Ottawa Illinois a La Salle Circuit Court judge ruled that a battery powered cattle prod used by teacher Frank J. Rolando III to restore order in a sixth grade class was not cruel punishment under dictionary definitions. The ruling also said Rolando deserved forewarning before dismissal by the District 125 School Board in Oglesby in November 1973. The judge noted serious classroom disruption but allowed the discipline, while noting parental protest was absent and that the principal urged handling it. The School Board has until June 9 to appeal. Rolando seeks damages for lost reputation and job prospects.

Frantic search to remove Castro spurred plans to kill
Former intelligence officers say after the Bay of Pigs failure a frantic CIA and defense department effort considered killing Castro. Plans ranged from assassination to defaming his character, with some tying to Mafia figures Giancana and Roselli. Lansdale recalls orders to depose Castro though not direct murder orders. The Rockefeller commission investigated whether Kennedy aides pressed for such plots amid the 1962 missile crisis.
