...intention of underwriting Castro's future. Continuing U.S. policy, he said, is to squeeze Castro to death with political and economic pressures. Moreover, Rusk explained that the "no invasion" pledge applied only to a satisfactory settlement of the missile crisis. If Castro tries to export Communism by force, the U.S. will still feel free to invade the island...
Talk & Sabotage. This assurance was less than persuasive to Latin Americans, who know all too well that Castro has been and still is trying to export Communism by subterfuge and sabotage. Just last week saboteurs, acting on Castro's orders, touched off explosions in Venezuela that damaged four key power stations in the rich oilfields along Lake Maracaibo (see THE HEMISPHERE). As if this were not enough, the Communists at week's end blew up four Venezuelan pipelines. Such acts, presumably, were the sort that President Kennedy had vowed to answer by invasion. Yet, as of last week...

Unlike other gas-producing nations, however, The Netherlands will not burn up its natural gas to make electric power. Instead, the Dutch will export it to West Germany, Belgium, and possibly Britain, and continue to make their own electricity with imported fuel oil, which is cheaper than gas. By careful management, Dutch planners expect to keep the Groningen field in production for 30 years-or roughly the amount of time they expect it to take before nuclear energy begins to emerge as Europe's main power source...
