...second was the report on Cuba by TIME Diplomatic Correspondent Strobe Talbott, who spent eleven days on the island. Talbott gathered notes on the Soviet presence, spoke with Cubans about Africa, and met with Fidel Castro for 2½ hours of freewheeling discussion. "Most heads of state I've encountered seem weighted down by their jobs," reports Talbott. "Not the Cuban Premier. He obviously has a lot of fun being Fidel Castro-and he does it well...
...various formulations of U.S. foreign policy, Vance barely mentioned an issue that only two weeks ago was threatening to create an irreparable rift between Carter and Cuba's Fidel Castro. The issue was whether Cuba could have acted to halt the Katangese rebel invasion of Zaire's Shaba region.

Cuban Premier Fidel Castro may talk like an explorer, but he acts more like, well, a messianic leftist conquistador. Since he began a major airlift of troops to Angola three years ago, the bearded Communist dictator has expanded his country's military presence in Africa to ominous dimensions. Some 43,000 Cuban troops, roughly one-third of his country's regular armed forces, are now stationed on the continent. In addition to the army-size units in Angola (20,000 troops) and Ethiopia (17,000 troops), there are contingents in Mozambique, the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Libya...
