...official part of Fidel Castro's marathon visit to Moscow was over, and his beaming host had a few words of farewell before sending the honored guest off to southern Russia to loll in the sun for a while. With Castro standing beside him in Lenin Stadium, Nikita Khrushchev by turns praised Cuba's heroic "revolt against tyranny," pleaded for coexistence with the U.S., and angrily threatened nuclear war if the U.S. dared lay a hand on Cuba. He even rang in the American Declaration of Independence, quoting: "Whenever any form of government becomes destructive...

Only during the ten-minute parade of familiar military hardware, featuring medium-range (500 to 700 miles) missiles of the type Moscow had tried to put in Cuba, did Fidel look interested. U.S. Ambassador Foy D. Kohler missed the fun, remaining at home in Spaso House to watch on television; he was boycotting the event to make sure he would not have to listen to an anti-American diatribe-and in Castro's presence, to boot.
