Into West Berlin flowed more than 12,000 refugees from East Germany, in a great and historic flight from tyranny. In recent weeks, the number of Cubans fleeing Fidel Castro's sugar-cane Communism has notably increased. Significantly, the refugees include fishermen, carpenters, and farmers desperate enough to cross more than 90 miles of water in small boats. They, too, in their anonymous way, had something to contribute to the subject of grandeur...
International Pastime. As it happened, Fidel Castro seemed about as dismayed by the latest skyjacking as the U.S.'s Jack Kennedy; with U.S. indignation running at fever pitch, continued aeronautical piracies could wind Castro up in a disastrous (for him) shooting war with the U.S. Aware of this, Cuban officials, though they arrested Cadon, made no effort to keep the DC-8 when it landed in Havana.

No surprise. Said Castro, in his best who-me? manner: "The revolution does not have to await a date; revolution is a process." Apparently he had decided, perhaps on Moscow's advice, to go slower in proclaiming the next step in Communizing the country. The only real surprise of the week was the hijacked Eastern Air Lines Electra that landed unexpectedly (the Cubans seemed as surprised...
