"You have a choice between your silks and your sons," he warned American mothers. After Pearl...
...shown again last week when Cuba's delegate sought to brand the U.S. with harboring "new plans of aggression" against the Castro regime. The men from Havana could find no African or Asian "neutralist" willing to introduce their Assembly resolution, and when the measure (finally introduced by Outer Mongolia) came to a vote, many of the Africans abstained, helping the U.S. defeat Cuba's move...
