MIT philosophy teacher says^ CIA linked to assassinations THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY. MARCH 2. 1977 Attempts on the life of Cuban Premier Fidel Castro may be con nected to the assassination of Presi dent John F. Kennedy, lecturer Jim Kostman said yesterday at Texas A&M University. Kostman, an assistant professor of philosophy at the Massachusetts In- iJf ^ Kostman stitute of Technology, spoke on the involvement of the Central Intelli gence Agency (CIA) in several at tempts to kill Castro. Kostman cited several examples of foiled attempts in which he said there is substantial proof the CIA either backed the attempt or started to do the job itself. He also gave evidence that Ken nedy’s death may have been the re sult of retaliation from Castro when the Cuban discovered that the CIA was connected with the attempts on his life. He described one case in which an assassin escaped Cuban au thorities and went to work for the CIA in the United States. The same person employed by the CIA once was introduced by CIA officials to a man later iden tified as Lee Harvey Oswald, Kostman said. The introduction took place before the death of Ken nedy. Kostman also said that proof exists showing that the CIA has paid organized crime to engineer an as sassination of Castro several times during Kennedy’s years as presi dent. He added that all of these at tempts either failed or were called off by the CIA. Kostman is head of the research staff of the Assassination Informa tion Bureau and is a frequent con tributor to “Crawdaddy” magazine. His speech was part of a three-day program on the “Politics of Conspi racy” sponsored by the Political Forum Committee of the Memorial Student Center, —John W.
