...nonchalant waves to bystanders. Now it was all crisp creases, steel helmets and eyes staring mechanically front. As tight arrowhead formations of Soviet-built MIG jets thundered overhead, Cubans got their first glimpse of Russian missiles: the bulky surface-to-surface variety carried by coastal patrol boats, and the grey, sharp-nosed SA-2 antiaircraft rockets that presumably shot down a U-2 reconnaissance plane two months ago.

Mighty IBM, which had become more of a cult than a stock, plummeted from 578½ in January to a low of 300 in June. Dropping like a shot goose, the market lost $23 billion in paper values during a single hectic week in late May, and $21 billion...
