...School of Economics, then went to work for the BBC. His heroes: "Dad, Martin Luther King and Harold Laski." Manley returned to the island in 1952, became a labor negotiator, and did not run for Parliament until 1967. Though Manley today is "looking outward" to Third World nations (including Cuba), he still has his mind set on launching Jamaica firmly into the technological age. "I think that the moment a nation becomes a nation," he says, "is the moment when it understands that to walk from here to there means that every man's foot has to move...
...since Nikita Khrushchev took his missiles out of Cuba in 1962 has any Russian military departure been as momentous as Egypt's abrupt expulsion of Soviet advisers. Yet by last week, Egypt's President Anwar Sadat must have been puzzled by the reaction-or lack of it-of those countries that stood to gain the most from the Soviet eviction.

As a result, says one top State Department officer, "You can see the Latinos every day sawing away at the bars around Fidel...
...Kennedy's 1960 taunts about Republicans permitting a Communist victory "90 miles from our shores," will make any gestures toward Havana before November, at the very earliest. But there are some straws in the wind that suggest that the Administration is not so intransigent in its attitude toward Cuba as it used to be. Washington has long been concerned about the increasingly permanent Soviet presence in Cuba. U.S. diplomats have been discussing the possibility of sending a respected Latin American statesman-Ecuador's Galo Plaza, Secretary-General of the OAS, is an eager candidate-to Havana to open...
