Most startling of Trujillo's moves to the left is his sudden about-face on Fidel Castro, who two years ago sent revolutionaries to invade the Dominican Republic. Two months ago Trujillo reportedly sent a pair of trusted henchmen to a secret meeting in eastern Cuba with Castro emissaries. The result: a tentative non-aggression agreement between the two dictators and, further, possible future cooperation against common enemies, such as Venezuela's moderate President Romulo Betancourt...

...little vituperation has been heard recently about the Southern plot to undo what the electorate fashioned (albeit inconclusively) on November 8. For Republicans in Illinois and Texas to seek through investigation to uncover frauds is one, perfectly legitimate thing. But for Ross Barnett and his henchmen to seek through persuasion and even intimidation to make pledged electors break their pledges is another, entirely reprehensible matter...
