...childish pronouncements on the draft [June 3] of those who would enjoy the harvest without the labor are empty and redundant. Joe College '66 is a sad, disgusting example for my children to have to follow. He tempts me to resign to avoid contributing to the security in which he is free to demur and complain...
...first time, Communist prisoners and defectors are reporting hunger as a problem in Red ranks. The Allies are capturing their rice hoards and denying them the rice harvest of the peasants. Defections under Saigon's Chieu Hoi (open arms) amnesty program are running at a record 1,000 a month-and some 25% of them are officers.

Right now, Cuba can afford a small crop even less than usual. Some 60% of the harvest is pledged to the Soviet Union under a barter arrangement. The rest will have to compete in a glutted world market, where prices have tumbled...
