A curious new report about "drones" could be the pretext to U.S. military action against Cuba.

U.S. Congressman Thomas Kean Jr. of New Jersey has missed months of votes and vanished from public view while his staff, family, and House GOP leaders insist he is recovering from a temporary illness, despite offering few details. Harvey Weinstein’s latest New York rape trial ends in another mistrial after jurors deadlock on Jessica Mann’s allegation, leaving prosecutors to decide whether to pursue the charge for a fourth time.
