...jack-of-all-subversion, a screeching Communist fanatic who raised her nino on Marxist dogma but never had the influence she wanted until her son's rise to power in Cuba, after which she traveled the hemisphere as a Communist Front organizer clad in leather jacket and Basque beret, and forever sporting a pistol-even when she sat down to dinner; of cancer; in Buenos Aires...
...heavy-set man in a neatly pressed blue suit and beret stepped out of War saw's shabby district court at 127 General Swierczewski Street into a welcoming crowd of 300, mostly writers and students. They surrounded the old man and patted him on the back. Two girls embraced him and handed him red roses. Said he: "All the nice people seem to be here."

...handle the logistics of getting the troops to Cyprus. He also named India's Lieut. General Prem Singh Gyani as commander of the U.N. peace-keeping force. Already in Cyprus as a U.N. observer, Gyani changed from civilian clothes to a resplendent uniform topped by a blue beret. His record as commander of the U.N. Emergency Force in the Middle East was faultless, and he has also served the U.N. in Yemen. As mediator, U Thant submitted the name of Guatemala's Jose Rolz-Bennett, 45, a lean, capable attorney with a growing reputation as a troubleshooter...
