...Good for you. Yanks! Your swift reflexes over Cuba warned Khrushchev with appalling clarity that if he tweaked the "paper tiger's" tail it could, and would if necessary, hook him instantly with nuclear claws.

In the 1958 elections, Allende came within a hairbreadth 29,000 votes of becoming the Hemisphere's first avowed Marxist to be freely elected President. This time -even before the break with Cuba-Allende figured to make it close again...
