Thus the Marxist dream of world domination is palpably no McCarthyist mirage. From Indonesia, where government-sanctioned mobs howled for the ouster of a newly arrived U.S. ambassador, to Cuba, where Fidel Castro proclaimed that "the imperialists" will not prevent Red regimes from taking over throughout the hemisphere, it was also becoming clear last week that the U.S. would have to stand increasingly alone against the free world's enemies...
Charles de Gaulle is really Jewish. So are Konrad Adenauer, Queen Elizabeth, Lyndon Baines Johnson, Francisco Franco and Fidel Castro, and so was John F. Kennedy. That, at least, is what it says in Les Juifs (The Jews), a new novel about world Jewry, "known and unknown," by French Satirist Roger Peyrefitte, 57, whose Keys of Saint Peter was attacked as "lewdly libelous" by the Vatican in 1956 and promptly sold half a million copies in Italy and France. The Jews may do equally well, largely because France's mighty De Rothschilds brought suit to get the book banned...
...longer provide a forum for Communist propaganda. The Algiers correspondent for France's Communist daily L'Humanite, which bitterly denounced the coup, was booted out of the country for "exaggerated" reporting. Police also closed the office of Prensa Latina, Cuba's news and propaganda agency.

Just how, Foreign Minister Abdelaziz Bouteflika inquired acidly, did Castro take power...
...Next to Fidel Castro, the most visible man in Cuba long was Ernesto ("Che") Guevara, 37, the Argentine-born Marxist who landed in 1956 with the original 81-man band of insurgents, quickly emerged as Castro's closest confidant and jack of all trouble (TIME cover, Aug. 8, 1960). Che was the brain behind Castro's hide-and-seek guerrilla tactics during the revolution; after the takeover, Castro made him Cuba's economic czar, first as head of the National bank and later as Minister of Industries, put him in charge of exporting Castroite subversion throughout Latin...
...odds with Castro, partly because Che preaches a tough pro-Chinese, anti-Russian line, partly because Castro blames him for Cuba's continuing economic chaos. One report has it that he quarreled with Castro at a party in the Soviet embassy, sought asylum there to avoid Fidel's wrath. A second version has Che hiding out in the Mexican embassy. He is variously supposed to have been executed at Castro's orders, slapped into prison, demoted to a junior job. However, the theory that the two men have been at odds suffered something of a blow when...
