I liked that mention in the papers how Gromyko cried at the condolence visit at the American Embassy in Moskow. And what an unfortunate hazard that Kennedy had to sit in the car next to Connaly whom to shoot the communist boy had especially got an exit visa, together with his wife from the Sowjet authorities. That he never intended to kill the Head of the American State was his confession, at least, before he also was silenced! This is the official version in order to save society from another world war and to allow the continuation of peaceful commercial relations." - 2 illustr.
