...bloody vengeance was fully justified. The trouble was the way "enemies" used it to "slander" Cuba. "Never has such an intense and violent campaign of discredit against Cuba been waged throughout the Americas. We must deprive the enemy of his principal weapon of attack." When would "the proceedings" end? Not, apparently, last week. Before Castro's firing squads went another 28 Batista men, bringing the grand total to 451. Among the new dead: the first judge, Arístides Pérez Andreu, president of Batista's Pinar del Rio Urgency Tribunal...

Soon she withdrew from her mother, resenting her visits because she could not understand why they had to end. Back home, Laura was markedly anxious and irritable for weeks; six months later, mention of the hospital still revived resentment of mummy's "desertion." (In children who have stayed longer than Laura in the hospital, Analyst Robertson has noted more severe, probably permanent emotional damage...
...single western left the air. Indeed, 14 new ones were launched, and the networks are planning more for next year. Sighs a well-known writer of western scripts: "I don't get it. Why do people want to spend so much time staring at the wrong end of a horse...
