...Rebel Country. At the other end of the island, in Santiago, the strike, though more effective, was suppressed with equal resolution and bloodshed; 38 were killed. But even as the strike was failing, Castro's irregulars in the rugged Sierra Maestra were fighting on. Nipping down to El Cobre the day after the frustrated strike, Castro men grabbed the town, ranged the streets, and upon pulling out touched off the 30-ton dynamite stock of a construction-supply company.

Not until the "labor pains" had continued for 24 hours did her "pregnancy" finally end, five months after it began. Next day her insulin need promptly rose. At last she gave away her maternity clothes and went home, where she is now living with her husband and child...
