Last week, in a rededication to the faith that became a tacit show of strength against the Reds, a crowd of 200,000, including a subdued and silent Castro, paraded by torchlight into Plaza Civica for midnight Mass, paying homage to Cuba's patron saint, the Virgin of Charity...

The effect on the listener, noted France-Soir, was to create "a kind of obsession, almost anxiety." But Paris cats were buying the record briskly last week, and other record makers are sure to approach Model Guillenette with stethoscopes in hand; nobody, she said, has yet put her "young and dynamic" heart under contract...
