...Argentina, and Spain, and of course, the United States, which has accepted some 300,000 since 1959. And more keep coming. The Cuban government admits that 200,000 of its 7 million citizens still residing there have applied to leave.

Air Force Secretary Harold Brown, 40, a latter-day McNamara "whiz kid," headed Pentagon research and engineering during such McNamaran renovations as the MBT battle tank, the C5A air transport, and the Minuteman II ballistic missile.
