Dubois, 49, had been quite a while in earning the hatred of the Cuban mob. Among U.S. correspondents covering Castro, few had written more warmly during the early days of the revolutionary regime (Castro, reported Dubois, "has a deep reverence for civilian, representative, constitutional government"). But the longer Castro ruled, the more critical became Dubois, and Castro's Cuba lashed furiously back at him. Last September the National Federation of Gastronomic Workers ordered Havana waiters not to serve Dubois food or drink. Dubois took the ineffectual embargo (lifted after four weeks) in stride. Scoffed he: "I'll bring...
Shortage of Dancing Girls. But once the two mayors were buckled in their C121 (Constellation) seats for the flight to Tyndall, the story of their disillusionment-as recorded in sworn statements by Air Force and civilian witnesses and bolstered by Air Force movies-read differently. First off, Mayor Fitzpatrick asked if there were a bar on the plane. Told that Air Force planes are not so equipped, the mayor said: "Well, boy, I've got my own bar." Soon.

After the Shah's mother gave a party in her honor last week, Farah Diba was escorted to the Teheran airport next morning by palace guards in civilian clothes, boarded an airliner for Geneva and Paris, presumably to buy her trousseau (she bought 15 Dior dresses).

Until that time, she would probably be known...
Concern started soon after Richard S. Morse, the Army's civilian Director of Research and Development, took his job last June. None of the VIPs had suffered any ill effects; neither did human volunteers who ate the foods for short periods. But experimental animals put on a long-term diet of irradiated foods had shown some alarming symptoms. Rats developed abnormal eyes, or bled, or died before their time. Bitches bore smaller-than-normal litters. Mice developed enlarged left auricles in their hearts, which interfered with their breathing and sometimes burst...
