Mush Without Bread. Traveling to the Guárico state capital of San Juan de los Morros, Betancourt angrily charged Fidel Castro with aggression, and confidently warned him not to expect any help from Venezuela's peasants: "The pressure for the government to Cubanize itself has taken the path of violence, terrorism, dynamiting and armed action.

...have the Harvard-Radcliffe Gargoyle to attempt the job. Its first issue, as one might expect of a first issue, has false starts. Hank Schwarz's "Don Juan in Nebraska" is one such, and few will hold the editors to their pledge to continue the narrative in future numbers. "Who's on Third?" by Jim Parry is another regrettable venture, as is Tom Houston's cluttered little "Ballad...
