England might have been less shocked to find Buckingham Palace transformed into the Royal Arms Motel. A great British institution-and perhaps the Empire's most far-flung export since the Thin Red Line-seemed in peril. From Liverpool to Piccadilly, the cries of anguish rent the air: "The Beatles are dead...
Semiprivate concerns are concentrated in textiles and other consumer industries where the premium is on skill and imagination. Not only do they pay high taxes, but they also do well in the export trade and earn generous amounts of Western currency. They tend to react more flexibly than the wholly nationalized companies to changing markets. Recently TIME Bonn Correspondent George Taber visited two East German businessmen who described their relations with their "silent partner," the government. His report...
Swiss watchmakers are also being pressed by the Soviets, primarily in the less expensive lines. The U.S.S.R. has 6% of the world export trade for watches, and dumps another 3,000,000 movements a year that sell for as little as 500 apiece, mostly in Asia and Africa. Often these cheap pin-lever works turn up in bogus Swiss casings with labels that might easily be mistaken for some of the world's best-known brands...
...there it is, brimful of lies and prevarication. Yes, before Castro, "Cuba was exporting cattle." Naturally, if big U. S.-owned ranches are raising livestock with all the modern techniques, then "Cuba" goes listed as "exporting cattle." But not because there was a true surplus.

Cuba's sugar plantations had among the lowest yield in the world; there were no technological innovations since...
What counts is that, since 1959, Cuba has produced more citrus fruit (for domestic consumption as well as for export) than in her previous 200 years of existence, that Cuba will become self-sufficient in rice and other vegetables during this decade, that the once-non-existent fishing industry is growing fast, that children get free milk, that everyone has enough, that blacks and women have jobs. In view of all this, how can the Magarolas say that the 10 million tons are "monoculture"? The sugar curplus will bring Cuba some badly needed agricultural machines...
