...impression of a divided Government became embarrassing to Ford. And he faced other problems within his Administration. Both Kissinger and Rockefeller were complaining about the way CIA Director William Colby was candidly answering questions by congressional committees about the CIA's assassination plots against Cuba's Fidel Castro, its failure to destroy potential biological weapons and its illegal snooping on the mail of domestic political extremists. Publicly, Ford claimed that Colby was carrying out his directions, as befits an "open" Administration; privately, Ford was irritated...

Either way, the Red threat in Portugal vitally affects the political stability of the western Mediterranean and the future of the North Atlantic Alliance...

Returning to Lisbon last week after a nine-day visit to Cuba-where he participated enthusiastically in the anniversary celebrations of Fidel Castro's revolution-he announced at the airport that last April's elections, which gave the Socialists a plurality, were irrelevant. Said he: "The dynamic of the revolution is what counts...
