...Genocide!" Thirty of Matos' officer friends urged him to go with them to the hills and start a guerrilla campaign. Matos chose to wait. Tension grew; crowds milled about the city of Camagiiey. Captain Jose Manuel Hernandez, disillusioned by Castro and fearful for Matos, put a bullet through his own head.

...Argentina in 1954 to toast the dictator for "purest sincerity." The U.S. propped Nicaragua's Anastasio ("Tacho") Somosa, who seized power after the Marines pulled out, on Franklin Roosevelt's theory that "he may be an s.o.b., but he's ours." In Peru, Military Strongman Manuel Odria got the Legion of Merit for running a tight economy. The reason for such friendly gestures was typically stated in Pérez Jiménez' Legion of Merit citation.
