Castro's threats came close to being the last straw. The U.S. Government announced that not only would it continue its aerial reconnaissance flights until it had proof that a military buildup had stopped, but that it would defend the flights if necessary. If Castro shoots down a U.S. aircraft, the U.S. is prepared to 1) bomb certain Cuban antiaircraft installations already targeted for U.S. air strikes, and 2) bomb the Il-28s now crated or semiassembled at San Julian airfield in western Cuba...
Thant organized a 19-man team to go to Cuba. At his urgent request, the U.S. obligingly lifted its blockade and aerial surveillance. Thant flew to Havana-and ran into a cold climate. Ordinarily, Fidel Castro is one of the world's most assiduous airport greeters. But he did not show up to welcome Thant, and when the two finally did meet, Castro had his gat ostentatiously bolstered on his hip. In his long, rambling talks, Castro sputtered that Khrushchev had sold him down the river. As to the bargain the Russian Premier had made with Kennedy, Castro cried...

Astronomers roamed the U.S.; rockets were fired aloft to check on atmospheric conditions; scores of aerial maps were made before the NSF settled on 6,875-ft. Kitt Peak in Arizona. The peak's flat top, high in the clear air, is well above hot desert breezes, but not so high that ice will become a problem. And above it the atmosphere is relatively free...
...York Wood will face another rather talented passer--Archie Roberts. As neither team has much in the way of runners, the game should turn into a fantastic aerial contest. Roberts is good, but Wood is much better. I'll take Cornell, by at least a touchdown...
...Score. Next, Stevenson displayed the photographic evidence of the Cuban bases. As big blowups of the aerial photos were spread on easels, he explained the technical details, adding that this evidence, and more besides, was available for closer inspection by anyone interested. Most of the time, the Russians stared stonily before them, ignoring the pictures. Zorin made one more try by citing some questionable photographs Stevenson had shown the Council just before the Bay of Pigs invasion. Cried Zorin: "One who has lied once will not be believed a second time. Accordingly, Mr. Stevenson, we shall not look at your...
