...jargon in Castro's speeches and in his captive press these days is increasingly Marxist. Aureliano Sanchez Arango, 53, a former Minister of State of Cuba and one of the early fighters against ex-Dictator Fulgencio Batista, charges that "while Castro had ideas, he had no program; the Communists gave him the program." The man most responsible is Major Ernesto ("Che") Guevara, 32, an Argentine physician, Castro's best field commander, and a Red. A Castro official recalls that when Guevara returned from a three-month trip around the world in September 1959, "things began to happen." Part...
Cuba's biggest manhunt in recent years got under way one night last week when an informer tipped off police that Aureliano Sánchez Arango, the elusive underground revolutionist (TIME, Nov. 2), was holed up with fellow plotters in a neat, palm-shaded and hedge-hidden house in the outlying Country Club District.

So badly does Batista want to catch Sáchez Arango that Cuban police have kidnaped and beaten or tortured at least two Cubans known to be his friends to force them to divulge his hiding place. But Sánchez Arango, who learned all the conspiratorial tricks fighting the Machado dictatorship 20 years...
