...Your Jan. 26 article on Fidel Castro fails to point out that he has been able to give Cuba its first honest government in its history ; you failed to foresee in previous stories how the ragged troops under the leadership of an "egotistic, impulsive, immature and disorganized" Castro could thoroughly beat the hell out of Batista...

In the U.S. 55% of the children who begin first grade go on to finish high school. American students most often are promoted automatically-although some schools, notably those in New York City, have begun flunking dullards again. In Russia a frightening...
