...people of the U.S. I am confident that relations between the Soviet Union and the U.S. will continue to develop to the benefit of our peoples and in the interests of international security and peace." Two hours later, Brezhnev's blue and white Ilyushin-62 jet landed in Havana, and the Russian leader began a week-long visit that at times seemed mainly aimed at patching up relations between Cuba...
...Valparaiso so quickly that its crew had no time to put ashore four Chilean cranes that were being used to unload sugar. The Cuban captain's haste seemed justified; his vessel was bombed and strafed before escaping to sea. Another Cuban ship laden with sugar turned back to Havana before it made port in Chile. In each instance, Chile's new junta cried foul. It contended that Cuba had to deliver 18,000 metric tons of sugar because the Allende government had paid in advance. If the sugar was not forthcoming, said the junta, then Chile was owed...
This time a Havana paper was soon complaining about "the cynical marriage between Washington and the criminal fascist junta of Chile."

Marred now and then by a pitch problem in the brass, the orchestra is in tune and fairly precise...
Cyrus Eaton is one of the most contradictory figures in U.S. business: an archetypal capitalist worth more than $150 million, he regularly visits Communist capitals from Havana to Hanoi in an attempt to promote East-West détente. He has made the Cleveland-based Chesapeake& Ohio one of the few profitable railroads in the country; last year it doubled its earnings, to $60 million. Eaton, at 89, talks and acts as though he plans to stay active in business forever-and lately that ambition has become all too painfully believable for his impatient corporate colonels. Last week, while Eaton...
