Faced with humiliating disregard by the Soviet Union before the entire world, and a Communist apparatus of ambiguous loyalties at home, Dr. Castro has decided to condemn and dismiss from government service leaders of the Popular Socialist Party. Last week in the New York Times, Tad Szulc cited a report that "Dr. Castro has almost virtually eliminated most of the 'old line' Communists, responsive to Moscow, from positions of influence in the Cuban government, and has moved in his own trusted aides...
Even as the U.S. and Russia were exploding small rocket-borne nuclear weapons at high altitudes, the Russians dropped hints that they might accept a system of unmanned seismographic inspection posts inside Russia. In them, a world body would install tamper-proof boxes containing recording apparatus that would be regularly studied for signs of underground nuclear blasts...
...months prior to the blockade, very few newspapers discussed anything that was going on inside Cuba, either good or bad. No one, for example, has even a rough idea of how many schools Castro has built in the last year; or alternatively of the extent of his secret police apparatus. There is nowhere one can go to find out. This lack of information about Cuba has constantly made United States policies toward that country difficult to judge; and during the past week, combined with the suddenness of information about the Soviet military build-up, it rendered public opinion utterly irrelevant...
Cuba should be offered the chance to start dismantling its offensive apparatus under U.N. inspection within 48 hours. If there are intermediate range missiles on Cuban soil, their presence endangers that country as well as our own; only the Soviet Union gains here. And since the rationale for installing these bases has been defense against an unremittingly hostile U.S., the very step of negotiating for their removal would serve towards obviating them...
...side of the experimental hall, scientists have constructed one of the most important pieces of apparatus to be used in the C.E.A.'s experimental program: a liquid helium cryostat. This device will cool and liquify gases, principally hydrogen, for beam targets and bubble chambers. The bubble chambers are large jars of liquid hydrogen, and are used as tracking devices. Many short-lived, invisible particles leave a track of bubbles as they travel through the hydrogen. These tracks can be photographed and later studied...
