...wildest dreams, Castro could hardly have hoped that the U.S. Government-which once went into battle on the ringing cry of "millions for defense but not one cent for tribute"-would lend itself to meeting his extortionist demands. Little did he know. Although great efforts were made to keep the whole thing secret, it was soon as obvious as John Kennedy's forelock that the President himself had taken the initiative in setting up the Roosevelt-Reuther-Eisenhower movement...

...accomplish it in so short a space lies open to the disparaging epithets of popularizer and over-simplifier. Admittedly, Mrs. Dean's biographical sketches, averaging less than ten pages in length, are scarcely comprehensive; most of the statesmen she chooses to treat have lent themselves or will soon lend themselves profitably to full-length biography. But the sketches are sufficient for Mrs. Dean's purpose, and she is a popularizer only in that her book is extremely readable. Builders of Emerging Nations is a solid and useful study. Mrs. Dean, editor of the Foreign Policy Association and a member...

...complain that the dorm system provides few opportunities for sustained informal contact with faculty members. What little association there is between the faculty and Radcliffe girls under the present system--teas, special dinners, sherries--is inevitably stilted and artificial.

...Fish Is Red. The operation started with a surprise attack by B-26 light bombers on Cuban airports where Russian MIG-15s were reportedly being uncrated and assembled. In the best cloak and dagger tradition, to lend credence to a cover story that the bombings were by pilots defecting from Castro's air force, a few .30-cal. bullets were fired into an old Cuban B26. A pilot took off in the crate and landed it at Miami with an engine needlessly feathered and a cock-and-bull story that he had attacked the airfields. A reporter noted that...

...lessons to be learned from the fiasco that has been called a Cuban policy, the need for readjustment is certainly the main one Castro, as well as Kennedy, realizes that Cuban autonomy is at stake. Recent Cuban votes against Russia on the Congo and on the removal of Hammarskjold lend hope that the Prime Minister fears a loss of cherished independence on the left...
