...refugees from Communist Cuba last week marked its first anniversary. In that period, more than 45,000 Cubans have been flown free to new lives in the U.S. Though the number who would seek to leave Cuba was originally estimated at 150,000, another 700,000 Cubans still await Fidel Castro's action on their applications to leave. Despite confiscation of most of their property as a precondition to leaving, only 5% of the first year's refugees required U.S. welfare assistance-and then only for short periods...
...Dallas Oligarchy Theory," argued by Author Thomas Buchanan, has it that the assassination was engineered by a Texas oil millionaire who thought Kennedy stood in his way to domination of the world petroleum market. The "Cuba-Framed Theory," proposed by Fidel Castro, holds that Oswald's activities in Fair Play for Cuba groups were faked so that, assuming he escaped, Washington would figure he had fled to Cuba, and would thus have an excuse to invade.

But in 1959 the group balked at Fidel Castro, and in 1963 a few members suggested informally that Gov. Ross Barnett of Mississippi should speak elsewhere (he did). Last week, the Committee vetoed a speech by Stokely Carmichael...
...Latin America, the name is so common that no one blinks when U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador, Raúl Castro, 50, introduces himself. But in the U.S., the handle can be a headache, particularly in places like Miami, hotbed of militant Cuban exiles, where the name of Fidel's kid brother and Defense Minister is anathema. "I was in Miami not long ago," the Mexican-born U.S. career diplomat told the Nucleus Club in Phoenix, "and 20 minutes after I checked into a hotel, the word got around that Raúl Castro was in town...
