CUBA has trained some 2,500 Latin American guerrillas during the past decade. In addition, the Cubans have sent military instructors to Algeria and to the Congo-Brazzaville. Despite Fidel Castro's tough words two weeks ago about aligning himself with the "revolutionary peoples of the world," Cuba's training program has been somewhat curtailed in the post-Che Guevara period. While still capable of exploiting regional trouble spots, the Cubans have lately been preoccupied with economic problems at home and have been inhibited by the fact that leftist movements in many Latin American countries are splintered...

Since the island's northwestern tip is only 50 miles away from Cuba across the Windward Passage, the U.S. is worried that Fidel Castro, who has been more bellicose than usual in recent weeks, may seize upon Duvalier's death as an opportunity to stir up trouble in Haiti...

He moves about all the time, gets up, takes a few steps, sits down, stalks back and forth as if every argument were a kind of hand-to-hand struggle with a wily opponent." Castro has spent altogether too much time serving as a national ombudsman, Karol complains, forever touring the country and leaving the government to bureaucrats. "The new proletarian class," reports Karol acidly, "is quite unable to control and use the bureaucracy...
