Handwriting Evidence Ties Oswald to Mexico City Visit
House investigators report handwriting experts matched Oswald signatures on visa forms with the man who claimed to be Oswald at the Cuban consulate in Mexico City. The panel’s findings bolster the Warren Commission view that Oswald sought travel to Cuba in late September 1963 before returning to Dallas and killing Kennedy on November 22, 1963. The hearings proceed as conspiracy theories persist and focus on the most prominent theories surrounding Kennedy’s death.

Begin seeks Knesset approval for Camp David peace accords

The vote, likely 90 to 100 in favor, hinges on the pact with Egypt and Israel’s borders, with opposition from within Likud and Anwar Sadat pressing for terms. Jordan's King Hussein seeks modifications, while U.S. Secretary Vance tours the region to ease opposition.
