There were no press conferences or public meetings when Amparo Salcedo, Francis Figueroa, Reinerio Arce. Carlos Piedra, and Manuel Quintero visited Harvard. Instead nonpublicized private gatherings, such as a session last week with fellow Christians at the Divinity School, were held. The most interesting discussion came at one such meeting the previous evening, when they talked not only about religion, but about the Revolution as well...
...DIED. Manuel Artime, 45, silver-tongued Cuban physician and leader of the abortive Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961; of cancer; in Miami. Captured in a swamp two weeks after the landing failed, he was ransomed for $500,000 by the U.S. in 1962. He later led several commando raids on radar stations, sugar mills and other Cuban targets...

Bunau-Varilla left for Washington to put the question to Roosevelt. The Frenchman received "no assurances," Roosevelt said later, but the President added...
Collision Course. One of the few favorable signs at the conference was that the Southern polemics were somewhat more restrained than usual. Said Venezuela's Minister of State, Manuel Perez Guerreo: "You can't get a new international economic order in 18 months." How serious the conflict between the two groups really was may become clearer in July when OPEC leaders, still divided among themselves, meet in Stockholm for a review of oil prices that could once again put North and South on a collision course...
