...Greco was astigmatic [March 3] figures would have appeared elongated to him, but so would his canvas. If he painted precisely as he saw, the effect would have been self-correcting.

An estimated 100,000 Lebanese, about 10% of the little country's adult population, have made...
With that went glimmering the last faint hope of settling the rebellion peacefully. Castro, in effect, had already rejected the Roman Catholic Church's proposal for a government of national union, declaring that "no self-respecting Cuban could sit in Batista's Cabinet," and the church-supported Conciliation Commission collapsed in futility...
