...hornrimmed hoot owl, ex-Kefauver Committee Counsel Rudolph Halley. And the Wagnerites had cause to be embarrassed on another count: after crying that a mysterious, top-level Republican Mr. X had attempted to get Big-Time Racketeer Joey Fay out of prison (a charge calculated to embarrass not only local but state and national Republican administrations as well), they had, at week's end, dismally failed to name...

It now includes between 4.000 and 5,000 professional people, students and workers, he says, and it is well organized in cells throughout the republic in all six provinces. Local cells control secret armed combat units, and he himself moves about the country helping to organize and train them. (The day before, I learned later, he had been in western Pinar del Rio.) I asked whether these units could stand off the army. "Do not believe the army is with Batista," he said...
