...lure of Castroism and independence from the influence of the U.S. has captured the imagination of many a Latin American nationalist. However because of the relative in significance of the Communist Party in Argentina and the workers monetary mentaity, Romero finds that most of the Argentines are anti-Castro. A few of them he admits may feel twinges or sympathy for their Latin American brothers who have had the courage to tell the Yankees...
Help for the Oligarchies. Cuba's Fidel Castro angrily seized on Dobrynin's embassy visit as proof of what he has suspected for some time: that the Russians are pursuing their own, quite independent aims in Latin America. "Not everything is rosy in the revolutionary world," Castro stormed in a three-hour harangue at Havana University.

Their haunts ranged from "gay" coffee shops and bars in New Orleans' French Quarter to shadowy back streets in the Cuban sections of Dallas and Miami...
...least a dozen theories are current in New Orleans-practically every bootblack and cabbie seems to have several. One of the favorites is that Fidel Castro, having unearthed a CIA plot to assassinate him, sent four teams of killers to the U.S.-one of them including Oswald-to get Kennedy in retaliation. Another, less incredible, conjecture holds that Shaw and others merely planted the seed of the assassination idea in Oswald; such encouragement would be enough to justify conspiracy charges under Louisiana...
