...Diario de la Marina claims quick distribution, parachuting weekly copies from planes which must not only evade U.S. patrols but the Cuban air force too. Diario, reputedly the oldest Spanish-language paper in the hemisphere, is dropped into Cuba two days after publication in a 12-in. by 6-in. packet, tightly folded so as to resist the wind. About 5.000 copies of the two-color, 20-24 page tabloid are sold in Miami; 2,500 go to Cuba by parachute and other means as the gift of Editor José Ignacio Rivero and the twelve-man staff who fled...

Castro tolerated such impudence only because Diario was considered the unofficial spokesman for the Roman Catholic Church in Cuba and because it furnished proof to "Yankee imperialists" that...
...stand, Diario paid dearly. Over the months, Castro mobs had burned bundles of the paper in the streets, and Editor Rivero, fearful for his life, went into hiding, stayed in the homes of friends all over the city. When word reached Castro last week that Diario planned an editorial calling for free elections, the Premier's patience snapped and the seizure order went out. In its first editorial statement, the new management of the paper justified the takeover, said that under Rivero, Diario had "attacked all that signifies truth, justice, patriotism and decency in our Cuba...
