...Lincoln Gordon presented his credentials, he brought with him an invitation from President Kennedy. The same day, Goulart called in Communist Poland's visiting Foreign Minister, Adam Rapacki, awarded him the Order of the Southern Cross-the same decoration that Quadros hung on Cuba's Marxist mastermind, Che Guevara, setting off the furor that in time toppled Quadros. To be sure that no one missed the point, Brazil's Foreign Minister announced that his nation no longer considered itself a member of the Western bloc, and was going to stop "playing with marked cards...
...rest of the program in any way noteworthy. Miss Dorothy Crawford, who has a pleasant voice, was the soloist in a secular cantata, Non sa che sia Dolore, attributed (maliciously) to J. S.

Fidel Castro announced last week that he was imposing meat rationing on the fertile "Pearl of the Antilles." All housewives must register with neighborhood butchers, who will assign them numbers. When meat arrives, the butcher is supposed to post, by turn, the numbers of housewives who may buy one-half pound per family member. The butchers do not know how often they will get deliveries from the government; the housewives do not know when-or if-their...
