...Kassem thereupon arrested his old comrade. Moving to head off the expected explosion among Aref's army and political followers, Kassem quietly ordered an estimated dozen of Aref's army buddies taken into custody. Then, repeating his maneuver of last September, when he coupled the promise of land reform with the announcement of Aref's demotion, Kassem softened the late-night radio broadcast of Aref's arrest "for plotting against the national safety" by a timely decree boosting pay for the armed forces and police, alloting free seed for farmers, and promoting to the next class...

His gunmen hijacked still another Cubana airliner, this time with seven U.S. nationals aboard, forced it to crash-land in Nipe Bay. Early reports put the dead at 17 of 20 passengers and crew. In the backlands where rebel bands roam more or less at will, candidates were terrorized. They could not make campaign speeches, shake hands, or get before the people in any fashion, except from the safety of heavily guarded TV stations. A few were shot down. In Oriente province, balloting was virtually...
