Even those four important Latin nations were willing to go along with the exclusion clause if, instead of saying that Cuba had excluded itself by its behavior, the phrase was changed to say that its conduct "is contrary to participation in the inter-American system." This revision seemed too weak to those nations around the Caribbean (and thereby closest to Cuba) firmly determined to take action...

Pentecostal Preacher Oral Roberts, best known of the nation's circuit-riding faith healers, has made the practice a standard feature of his big-time revival meetings, which draw crowds of up to 30,000.

Egbert had dramatically offered to take on pickets "one at a time." Egbert was taken to a police station on a disorderly conduct charge and freed on $50 bail. Later he went on television, said that Striker Richards had "made a whale out of a min now." Egbert was soon receiving telegrams praising him for what he was accused of; but amiable Egbert is proud of getting along with his workers, pops out several...
