...Castro has occupied a cell in the capital's drab concrete Central Penitentiary. Cut off from his hair dye and face powder, the vain old man has watched his mane resume its whiteness, his complexion its Indian bronze. Guards passing his tidy cell peer in to see their model prisoner seated on an army cot, thumbing through his meager four-volume library as he awaits trial on charges of "colossal graft...

Last week's 2½hour inaugural broadcast from the stage of Carnegie Hall saw WFDR off to a razzle-dazzle start. Congratulatory messages came from India's Pandit Nehru and Chile's President Gonzalez Videla, Italy's Premier de Gasperi and France's Leon Blum. There were Verdi arias and Rooseveltian folksongs (Ballad for FDR, The Face on the Dime), and jokes by Milton Berle (see PEOPLE). Big business was represented...
