...Freud. Inside, the waiting room, office and study where Sigmund Freud lived and worked for 50 years had been restored with much of the original furniture for its opening last week as a museum. There were his cream-colored velour hat, his checkered sports cap, his ivory-handled cane, sent over from London by his psychoanalyst daughter Anna Freud. She could not bear, however, to part with the famed couch. Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky was on hand for the occasion, with a clutch of city councilors, but Vienna is still almost as cool as it always was to its most...
...friendship proved to be a mismatch. Russia poured in experts, goods and equipment with little idea what Cuba needed. The Cubans in turn expected miracles from their new ally and banked on fancy experts to solve their problems for them. But when Karushchev's new cane cutting-machines mangled every stalk they touched, it became obvious that these experts and their machines were just Russian bears.

While purchase agreements kept cane cutting prosperous, the Cuban economy was only as healthy as the American. In 1932 Cuban unemployment registered an all time high of 50 per cent!

This mark was surpassed only last year when eight and one half million tons were processed due to a national mobilization. In such a situation, America's termination of sugar contracts, under the Kennedy administration, dealt a particularly severe blow to the guerrilla government...
...trying to start a "dialogue" with Peking. In other steps toward establishing a new posture in a changing world, McMahon gave the Soviet Union permission to establish a trade office and a shipping agency in Sydney, and approved the sale of $2,240,000 worth of Australian sugar-cane harvesting machines to Cuba, despite Washington's apparent displeasure...
...Office of Economic Opportunity. At Michigan State University, which runs the nation's biggest college placement operation, all 1,200 copies of each issue of its Vocations for Social Change newsletter are eagerly snapped up. It advertises openings for such jobs as organizers to work with sugar-cane laborers in Louisiana ($70 a week) and a female counselor at Washington, D.C.'s Runaway House ($50 a week plus rent). There was also one offer last fall from a retired accountant in Far Rockaway, N.Y., who wanted to finance two "real drop-outs" in starting a combination school and commune...
