...fifth cover story on post-Castro Cuba* and our second on Fidel since he came down from the hills and took over on the first day of 1959. In reporting this cover, as it happened, we did have a correspondent in Cuba-for a while. He is Gavin Scott, Canadian-born, Spanish-speaking chief of our Buenos Aires bureau, just back from his third visit to the island since 1962.

...little sign in the view finder flashes "yes" or "no" to tell the photographer whether the light is right. The company launched the camera in Canada last July, sold out practically all its first month's supply in one weekend, now has to ration its stocks to Canadian dealers. The Swinger says President Edwin Land, inventor of the Polaroid Land Camera, "will find its market among teenagers, young married people and families that want a second camera." To reach them better Polaroid will broaden its distribution system, sell its cameras in drugstores and college book stores for the first...
