...horror talk, intended to terrorize, only increased the tension across Cuba. In Havana, 40 black-clad women marched in silent funeral-like procession on the presidential palace carrying the Cuban flag and a banner reading CEASE EXECUTION OF OUR SONS. A mob gathered to shout insults at the marchers, but individual soldiers left the crowd to protect the women, permitted them to make their mute protest, then escorted them away to safety. The rebels in the hills were filtering down at night to capture militiamen on lonely guard duty, promising Castro an eye for an eye, a hanging...

In Akhbar, Nasser's highly publicized visit to India last spring played second fiddle to a story with the banner head: MAD KILLER SHOT IN SUBURBS. Nasser was further irked by Akhbar's juicy coverage of Cairo society divorces. Against this formula, the official government organ, Al Gumhuria (the Republic), went so deeply into the red that not even giveaway promotion schemes could pull...
