...revolutionaries have chosen their GHQ well. With three airports and a mazelike coastline of winding waterways, Greater Miami is a plotter's playground for its terrain alone. What makes it paradise are the cops, many of whom make less than $300 a month and are in the market for a little extra spending money.

Three Dade County deputy sheriffs junket down to Batista's Cuba, come home bragging openly that "it didn't cost a cent...

...hardy soldiers quickly masters of a peninsula twice the size of their own nation, did not even wait to mop up last Egyptian resistance before switching from Egyptian to Israeli currency in the Gaza Strip. After midnight Tuesday, little more than a week after the operation began, Israeli army GHQ announced: "The campaign in Sinai has ended . . . and there is no more fighting." At that moment, the British-French invasion of the Canal Zone was already under...
