...mueve"-Something is moving. First came the faint, crackling anti-Castro broadcast last week from inside Cuba. Then 24 hours later came word of the biggest raid in months on Castro's fortress. The raiders identified themselves as members of the Movement for Revolutionary Recuperation, led by Manuel Artime, who headed the abortive Bay of Pigs landing...
That act, of course, trod hard on the toes of the consigner, a California artist named Manuel B. Tolegian. Though his own work is stolidly academic, he claims that Pollock was a high school chum, a "constant companion," and a co-worker in the 1930s. He, for one, stood behind their authenticity 100%.

Numbers of young exiles, many of them with U.S. Army training, have disappeared from Miami and other cities recently; exile guerrilla-training camps are reported operating in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and other Central American hideaways.

And before the week was out, Eastern horsemen were singing the praises of Paul Mellon's Quadrangle, who ran off with the $75,000 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct...
Last month, along with five other Belgian and French volcanologists, Dr. Tazieff made an intimate study of Irazú, which staged several fine explosions for their benefit. There was nothing they could do to cure the eruption, of course, but on their recommendation Minister of the Volcano Jorge Manuel Dengo built an armored observatory on the edge of the crater and equipped it with instruments to report earth tremors that might precede an unusually violent outburst...
