...final night's telecast, Castro himself, decked out in beret, cigar and low-slung .45, strode onstage for the finale. As the chorus of "to the wall" reached a crescendo, he harangued the prisoners for 3½ hours, crying "If the people of Cuba want a Communist regime, who has the right to deny it to them?" Then he grandly announced that he would "try to persuade" the government to spare their lives-all except those identified with Batista.

Last week a buzzing swarm of the precocious big-little cars performed before an audience of 5,000 at Lime Rock, Conn, in a battle of agility and speed that was finally won by Harry Carter in a Lotus with an average speed of 78.18 m.p.h...
...beat-up Simca came around the bend on the wrong side of the road. The collision flung Aly forward, and he was killed almost instantly by a broken neck (Bettina and the chauffeur were unhurt). Aly died as he would probably have wanted to: at the wheel of a low-slung car with a beautiful woman beside...
