...Frogman Morgan wears a gold-plated .45 with a bullet ready in the chamber. Tommy-gun-carrying bodyguards follow him around. He and his Cuban bride live in a six-room apartment on Havana's waterfront Malecón drive. It has 18 bunks, where the frog-farm workers, who call him "William,'' sleep whenever they come to town. His U.S. citizenship was lifted for fighting in a foreign army, and he laments that he is "running out of countries." But he professes optimism about his future in Cuba, even though "Fidel and Raúl know...
...most heavy Mayan population in Central America. President Miguel Ydigoras Fuentes has succeeded a pair of abbreviated administrations-the Communist-infiltrated regime of Jacobo Arbenz, overthrown in 1954 by Carlos Castillo Armas with U.S. help, and Castillo Armas' corrupt regime, cut off by an assassin's bullet. With quiet humor and calculated eccentricity, President Ydigoras. 64, has made himself a popular figure. Refusing to live in the presidential palace, he has installed himself-along with a twittering aviary, a pet deer and a dwarf footman-in a remodeled museum...
...terminal building, a great, shiny green-glass cavern with an aluminum and stainless-steel structure. Answering an official's request to see him buzz the field, the pilot swung the Starfighter out in an arc, then leveled and came in low and flat. Like a bullet, he was gone. And-boom-so was the new terminal. Only splinters were left of more than $10,000 worth of glass; the whole north wall was smashed; tiles fell from the ceiling, and insulating material poured to the floor. Door frames, window frames, and even structural beams were twisted. Damage...
...genial, roly-poly man who glories in the title "most independent of the Independents," Canon Kir is a much-decorated, bullet-scarred hero of France's World War II Resistance, during which he helped more than 5,000 French prisoners escape the Germans. He spends little time in the mayor's office, can more often be found directing Dijon's traffic, perched at the top of a fireman's ladder, or passing the time of day in a workers' bistro. Convinced that Khrushchev's professed desire to end the cold war must be taken...
Firing from the small windows of his concrete block cellar, Raymond kept police pinned down from 8:30 a.m. to midafternoon, escaped the stream of bullets pumped into the house by a 30-cal. machine gun set up in a general store 200 yards away. Finally, frustrated state police sent an urgent appeal to Governor David Lawrence, who approved use of a Walker bulldog tank manned by National Guardsmen to flush the killer. Rushed in by flatcar, the 25-ton tank lumbered to Chalk Hill, circled the bullet-pocked bungalow as police fired from the cover...
