...Damned Old Bitch." According to charges brought by New York police last week, the mastermind-if that is the word-of the plot was one Robert Steele Collier, 28, a library clerk who visited Cuba early last summer and returned to organize the Black Liberation Front. Also charged were Walter Augustus Bowe, 32, a onetime trumpet player who used to lead a combo called "The Angry Black Men," but more recently has worked as a $50-a-week New York settlement-house youth leader, and boyish-looking Khaleel Sul-tarn Sayyed, 22, son of an Arab-descended Negro who runs...

The New York branch of the May Second Movement has been subjected to "attempted intimidation" and "iron-fisted procedure" at the hands of a New York Grand Jury which subpoenaed several of its members in connection with the Harlem riots last summer...
...Assistant Secretary 13 months ago. Johnson has often exclaimed to associates about Mann: "He's great!" With quiet skill Mann helped persuade 19 of the 20 nations of the Organization of American States (Mexico is still holding out) to join the U.S.'s economic trade embargo against Cuba. He also tightened controls over the disbursal of Alliance for Progress funds, helped build up the Inter-American Committee on the Alliance into a forum where Latin Americans can realistically criticize and improve on their own national self-help programs-which are the basis for Alliance financial aid.
