The other was Herbert Matthews, 57, veteran war reporter (Ethiopia, Spain, Italy) of the New York Times. In a series of three articles this week, Herb Matthews, now a Times editorial writer, told how he crossed the battle lines, described the rebels' guerrilla life, and firmly concluded that Strongman Fulgencio Batista "cannot possibly hope to suppress the Castro revolt...
