Despite the report's lofty assertion that "a Senator is extended an extraordinary measure of trust and confidence not given to ordinary members of society," its very existence testifies that Senators can be, and have been, molded from crumbly clay.

Unfrocked Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali, 26, born Cassius Clay, is not quite the patsy that Havana Radio thought he was. Castro's crier expected Cassius to contribute a few bitter words about the U.S. in connection with the opening in Havana of a movie biography, Cassius Clay, made by a French company but not released in the U.S. A Cuban reporter reached him by phone, began pumping him with on-the-air questions about everything from boxing to Viet Nam.
