...wonder if whoever did the story on Rome's Fiurnicino Airport [Dec. 25] has heard a joke that sums up the situation neatly. It goes something like this: A Pan Am flight (we'll call it 123) is approaching Rome and the tower tells the pilot to go to 10,000 ft. and hold.

...American dilemma took on a certain urgency on Dec. 6, when three anti-Castro refugees arrived in Key West. Using a fishing knife and a pistol that would not shoot, the three forced two pro-Castro crewmen on a Cuban fishing boat to take them to Florida. It was clearly a hijacking, whatever the American sympathies in the case. The refugees were arrested, and for the first time since Castro came to power in 1959, anti-Castro Cubans were ordered to return to their native country. The Cubans appealed the deportation order and are now free in Florida on bond...
