...Senator Humphrey's wild imagination ran riot when he began to make up his inventions about the relations between the Soviet Union and the Chinese People's Republic. In this he even surpassed the well-known compiler of lies, Baron Munchausen."

Most serious is a strike of sugar workers that has closed down 21 sugar-cane grinding mills. Before mid-May, when seasonal rains start, 5,800,000 tons of cane must be ground in the country's 161 mills to bring in $600 million to make up the great bulk of Cuba's national income.

Between the two extremes are dozens of sets in the $100 to $500 range, many of which make for better listening than more expensive monophonic units. Thinking of the already cluttered American living room, manufacturers also offer "self-contained stereo"-units with both speakers housed in a single cabinet.
