...Interior Department last week announced plans to pour $650,000 down two holes in the ground. The holes: Crystal Cave and Great Onyx Cave, small caverns adjoining Kentucky's huge (51,000 acres, 150 miles of passageways) Mammoth Cave National Park. Ever since 1941, when the U.S. received Mammoth Cave's stalactite-studded underground chambers as a gift from Kentucky, the National Park Service has been thirsting to take over Onyx and Crystal to make up a more attractive tourist package.

...Batista's corruption and tyranny: "We were born in a free country, and we would rather see this island sink to the bottom of the ocean than consent to be anybody's slave." Concluding, he said: "I know that for me imprisonment will be harder than it ever was for anyone, but I do not fear it, as I do not fear the fury of the miserable tyrant who killed my brothers. Condemn me! It does not matter! History will absolve me!" The judge, unmoved, sentenced Fidel to 15 years. Raul...
