...China were promises to back Peking's claims on Formosa and pledges to support "the national liberation struggle of the peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America," thus hinting at a more pressing pursuit of revolution than Khrushchev had espoused. Both Chou and Castro's henchman, Ernesto ("Che") Guevara, applauded vigorously when Brezhnev warned: "Hands off Cuba." As to restoring unity within the bloc, Brezhnev said: "There is every objective condition for cooperation between Socialist countries to grow stronger." And at the Red Square anniversary parade, Brezhnev wound up old Rodion Malinovsky, his Defense Minister, for a rocket...

But the Associated Press, which was also listening, caught quite the opposite pitch. Guevara, the wire service reported to its subscribers all over the world, "concedes that the U.S. economic blockade 'has been a serious drawback' to the island's Communist regime...
...Attila is at the gates," thundered Ernesto Cardinal Ruffini, Archbishop of Palermo. Well, not exactly. Sicily was holding regional elections, and the Communists threatened to repeat the massive gains they had scored in Italy's national elections seven weeks ago. Red Boss Palmiro Togliatti himself was on hand to campaign. Back and forth across the island scurried hundreds of Communist squadristi (shock troops), trying to swing undecided voters...
