Greeting Eaton, Mikoyan cooed: "When Mr. Khrushchev talked about you, his whole face was beaming." Now in his twilight years, Cyrus Eaton is the archetype of the fading dog-eat-dog capitalist. Tall and slim (5 ft. 11 in., 175 Ibs.) with frosty blue eyes and arctic white hair, he dresses like Daddy Warbucks (blue suits, grey Homburg) and resides in manorial splendor on huge farms (champion Shorthorn beef cattle) in Ohio and Nova Scotia.

Hamlet's brilliant sarcasm, which should flash like lightning to relieve his overcharged soul, pales into insignificance; the clouds that hang on the soul of this Hamlet are the merest, most forgettable wisps...
...Castro Ruz, 28, Fidel's brother, took on command of front-line fighting after the rebels decided to keep Fidel as a symbol and out of danger. Raúl, who sports a Texas hat and shoulder-length hair but could not manage to grow a beard, matched Batista terror for terror, may find it hard to lay his pistol down. A onetime delegate to a student congress behind the Iron Curtain, he denounces U.S. "imperialism," likes to bait the U.S. (as when he seized 47 U.S. citizens as hostages last summer...
