Early returns showed the Batista faction leading, and the dusky Colonel exulted with his broadest grin: "I have never been so happy in my public life as now! It is a triumph of the people that exalts both Cuba and the Cubans. The armed forces have reason to be content...
Jinnah's own life has been a series of coat-turnings. He was born a Hindu, became a Moslem.

What distinguishes the committee's report from most of the 50-odd other silicosis reports which have come out in the last 20 years is the fact that it treats silicosis not as a disease of miners alone but as a public-health menace which indirectly lays low the miners...
