...most recent speaker to require extensive special police protection was Fidel Castro, whose appearance before the Law School Forum three years ago cost the Cambridge Police Department an alleged $800 in overtime. Enroute to Soldiers Field, where he spoke, Castro was guarded by Boston, Cambridge, and Metropolitan District Commission police...
...fill it up again, Ben Bella needs Western help. At first, embittered by his 5½ years in French prisons, he blinkered himself to that fact. He threatened to turn all remaining French-owned lands into state-run farms. He sauntered off to Havana to embrace Fidel Castro-right after a meeting with President Kennedy. He accepted what little Red aid he got with great fanfare, but deliberately played down far more extensive help from the West-including a flood of food shipments from private U.S. charities that have kept nearly half of his 10 million people from starving...

For their release, the U.S. had agreed to pay Fidel Castro a ransom of $53 million in drugs, medical equipment and other goodies (see following story). As the planes bringing back the prisoners prepared to take off from Havana's San Antonio airport, Castro delayed their departure by demanding to inspect the first shipment of drugs. Then he watched a demonstration of Soviet MIGs in the air space required for the prisoners...
