...most, jewelry is a diversion. Says Jean Cocteau, who is represented by gold pendants and a circular medal, "I entered poetry as one enters religion, and if I happen to work at something beside writing, it is like the monks who make liqueurs or figurines for the crèche." Picasso's fascination with gold in jewelry was born in the dentist's chair; seeing gold being cast for his teeth, he bought a set of dentist's drills and tools and made a necklace. He says that the gold content is unimportant: his jewelry would have...
...Lincoln Gordon presented his credentials, he brought with him an invitation from President Kennedy.

Thus throughout 1959 and 1960 it was suggested in the daily press and the newsweeklies that Castro could easily become a Communist by proximity to Che Guevara (who was identified as a congenital Communist).
