...blitzed Chile's poor and unemployed with grand promises of "revolution within the law." "From the south to the north," he cried last week at a rally in Santiago, "there is a rebel attitude that will win our destiny." "And now," shrilled a Communist leader grabbing the microphone, "Cuba will not be alone...
...major effort, of course, is propaganda and contacts with Latin American leftists. Sino-Latin American "Friendship Societies" have sprung up in Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela and, of course, Cuba; Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Uruguay harbor "cultural" and "youth" groups linked with Red China; the New China News Agency (Hsinhua) had "foreign correspondents" in eleven hemisphere countries at last count. From Peking itself comes 38½ hours of powerful short-wave radio broadcasts each week -in impeccable Spanish and Portuguese-railing at U.S. imperialism, urging violent revolution, sniping at the Russians and crooning about Red China's Great...

But in his speech to his fiercely proud and independent countrymen, López Mateos said that Mexico intended to maintain its contacts and handle Castro in its own fashion. The U.S. doesn't really like that much but with López' Mexico doing...
With little support either inside or outside Cuba, the 275,000 Cuban exiles in the U.S. and around the Caribbean have long since ceased to pose a serious military threat to Fidel Castro. But they do manage to tweak the dictator's beard from time to time. The most successful of them seems to be Manuel Artime, 31, a leader of the abortive Bay of Pigs invasion who heads an exile group calling itself the Revolutionary Recovery Movement. Last May, Artime's men blew up a sugar mill at Cabo Cruz on the south coast of Oriente province...
