...burning hulk sank in 400 fathoms (2,400 ft.) of the Bahamas' Northwest Providence Channel. At last count, 458 persons had lived through the disaster; 91 had died.

James Dugan's fine, wry, if somewhat overlong story re-creates the greatest mass mutiny in maritime history. It began in the Channel fleet stoppering Brest, spread like an infection through the anchorages at Spithead and the Nore, up to the North Sea and down 6,000 miles to ships lying off the Cape of Good Hope.

...story, a TIME team of six correspondents-headed by Frank McCulloch and including Jess Cook, Karsten Prager, John Shaw James Wilde and Arthur Zich-covered all key action areas in two often sleepless weeks.

...past several months Castro has felt the results of a Havana meeting of Latin American Communist leaders last November, at which Moscow demanded, and Castro agreed, that Cuba channel its subversion through existing orthodox Communist parties-with a few notable exceptions, such as in Venezuela, Colombia and Guatemala. This now gives the Russians better control of purse strings and operating methods. The Havana meeting also laid out a list of likely present and future targets. Among them: Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Paraguay and British Guiana...
