...editing table where Orson Welles was giving birth to his own screen legend with Citizen Kane. The sin of Welles' life was that it had two complementary, all-American acts: heroic tragedy, then celebrity farce. By the time he was 25, Welles had traveled the world, appeared at the Gate Theater in Dublin, stormed Broadway with crackling, sepulchral productions of Shakespeare and The Cradle Will Rock, scared America out of its wits with his War of the Worlds radio caprice, and served as producer, director, co-author and star of the most influential work in film history. Praised and vilified...
That was the lesson at Franklin Park yesterday, as the Harvard men's cross country team sprinted out of the gate and then faded back to see Dartmouth breeze to an easy victory in the Ivy League dual meet...
Among other things, townspeople wanted a barrier around the site. In August the EPA finished a new chain link fence, topped with three strands of barbed wire and hung with warning signs. (Some days, however, its gate has stood wide open.) The source of all the trouble is a ratty compound of cinder blocks and sheet metal, pink clapboard and silver tanks.

A few yards outside the site one afternoon in September, four men and a woman in boots and rubbery white suits...

Welles was 16 when he talked his way into his first starring role at Dublin's Gate Theater; 18 when he toured the U.S. as Mercutio in Katharine Cornell's version of Romeo and Juliet; 20 when he wowed New York by staging an all-black Macbeth; 22 when he became the celebrated radio voice of Lamont Cranston ("The Shadow knows!"); 23 when he touched off a national...
...propaganda value of the base is probably as strong and useful to Castro as when he first used it extensively for such purposes back in the mid '60s. At the only functional gate remaining in the barbed-wire-lined and mine-strewn perimeter, I saw a sign on the Cuban side. Through binoculars I could read it: Territorio Libertad de America. And one of the weekends I was there, we heard that a huge Cuban independence celebration was being held in nearby Guantanamo City. Castro himself was supposed to attend. It's not hard to imagine the type of speech...
