Suddenly a bell clangs in the cockpit, a light blinks a warning on the control panel. "Engine blew," snaps Taylor. In two-engine-aircraft dramas, troubles never come singly.

The most successful of them seems to be Manuel Artime, 31, a leader of the abortive Bay of Pigs invasion who heads an exile group calling itself the Revolutionary Recovery Movement. Last May, Artime's men blew up a sugar mill at Cabo Cruz on the south coast of Oriente province.
