...Head-On Clash. Back home, Murrow became CBS vice president in charge of news. After a year and a half he decided that he did not like paper work, budgets, and "most of all, I didn't like firing people."

...army-rebel clash followed a new Oriente coast invasion by 150 supporters of ex-President Carlos Prio Socarrás bent on horning into the revolution begun by Rebel Chieftain Fidel Castro more than five months ago. Pursuing the invaders, the army caught them at the edge of the rugged Sierra del Cristal, killed 16. Castro chose that moment for a double show of force. From his sanctuary in the high Sierra Maestra his 100-odd men swooped down on the army garrison of the tiny Oriente town of Uvero, killing eleven of Batista's soldiers and wounding...
