GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, CUBA: 127 men and women, the last of the 29,000 Cuban refugees who had lived in tents at the American base in Guantanamo Bay, boarded a plane for Florida today. The refugees were picked up at sea by the U.S. Coast Guard as they floated on rafts, small boats and inner tubes toward the American coast in the summer of 1994.

...autopilot system, extreme cold and a dead heater left him with just three hours sleep in two days. Then the electrical and communications systems failed. As a pair of helicopters combed the region, Fossett changed course and headed for the Canadian Coast rather than risk landing in the frigid Bay of Fundy. Searchers soon discovered equipment the pilot had jettisoned to stay aloft, then spotted the bedraggled silver balloon skin near woods 65 miles north of the Maine border. An exhausted Fossett emerged from his all-weather capsule with few words: "I'm rather disappointed and embarrassed that I didn...
